Lisa Nel

After 20 years’ of secondary school teaching she retrained as a therapist, developed a school based counselling service in Cornwall and is now mostly training and supervising others, near Bath.

Previous experience of education, therapy and supervision have happily come together in a range of training work: counselling under-18s, helping people in helping roles to look after themselves better, and developing reflective supervision in educational settings.

She runs her own business I’m OK, You’re OK and also works closely with CSTD Bath. She’s very proud to have co-developed the ’Help for the Helpers’ workshop with Mark Stancombe about the impact of vicarious traumatisation and what we can do to stay well. This is run across the UK and beyond and Lisa & Mark have just published their first book, ‘A Handbook for Looking After Yourself’.

Lisa has three wonderful grown up children and a spaniel.
