Arlene is a Coaching Psychologist, Life Coach, Somatic Trauma Informed Coach, Cross Professional Supervisor and is currently training as a Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practitioner (NLP).ll

Arlene works from an Existential Psychology approach with a focus on working with clients who could be / are impacted by trauma, vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue.  Arlene also coaches leaders and has experience of working at MD level of a large organisation specialising in Residential childcare for children and young people who had experienced abuse, trauma and neglect.  Arlene also provides cross professional supervision for Psychotherapists, Counsellors and Coaches who work in the health and social care sector and other related fields.

Arlene trained in the Eight Tensions®coaching framework in 2023 and has used this as a roadmap for navigating through life’s tensions that everyone will experience.  It has helped to contextualise what is going on for the client and give a language to their experience to focus on the dynamics that are at play and distil down quickly to the heart of the issues and experience.  It’s a skilful method for ensuring the dynamics don’t get lost in narrative and helps clients normalise and understand their experience.
