Critical Incident Stress Debriefing is a specific process to help individuals and groups who have experienced or been exposed to a traumatic event. The two-fold process can help to reduce, stabilise and resolve the turbulence, concerns or anxieties that such an experience often causes.

Within a work setting, traumatic events happen (including workplace restructuring and redundancy; on-site accidents, incidents, loss of life etc…) and can impact people in allsorts of ways:

  • when a trauma occurs on-site and directly affects an individual or group
  • for individuals/teams involved in the rescue and recovery process
  • for those involved in the peripheral process
  • for those who witness the event – directly and indirectly

The service I offer includes:

  1. On-site within 72 hours of the event happening:
    • I work with individuals and groups to process the immediacy of the trauma, with the aim of enabling a return to feeling safe and grounded.
    • I also assess and make recommendations for individuals who might benefit from further trauma counselling support.
  2. Return on-site visit:
    • I work with the teams to work through any trauma residual effects to ensure that resolution has been reached.
  • Time gap between visits: would be negotiated based on my assessment and recommendations.
  • Geographical locations covered include: Cumbria, The North-East, The North-West and South-West Scotland.
