Managing Director of The Oxford Development Centre Ltd, incorporating The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre, The Centre for Trauma and Positive Growth and Oxfordshire's Independent Psychology Service, 47 High Street, Witney, OXON, OX28 6JA, England, UK
Workshop Description
Working with traumatized clients can be overwhelming, especially when the trauma is complex, involves dissociative symptoms and fragmented memories or client affect is intense and poorly regulated. It is not uncommon for therapists, in an attempt to be helpful to their clients, to unintentionally use strategies, which are experienced as re-traumatizing or which lead to an increase in their clients' survival based coping strategies. Further, therapists might notice that the work with trauma challenges their previously held values, world view and even sense of Self, confronting them with experiences, which they find hard to integrate. This workshop addresses some of these therapeutic roadblocks and will introduce therapists to practical strategies, which can help overcome these and enhance the work with trauma. While incorporating principles from trauma-focussed CBT and EMDR, this workshop will transcend singular therapeutic modalities and, instead, is underpinned by findings from a variety of disciplines, including positive psychology, information-processing theory, neurobiology, developmental psychology, attachment theory, mindfulness, focussing and others.
This workshop will suit therapists who are relatively new to working with trauma and those who want to refresh, update and confirm some of their current practices in this ever expanding and exciting therapeutic field.
Learning objectives:
- To explore therapeutic roadblocks, which are common in the work with trauma
- To find out how to overcome these roadblocks
- To enable a forum for therapists to deepen their understanding of trauma work
- To increase therapist confidence about working with traumatized clients
Training modalities
Training will involve didactic input and case vignettes will be used. Some audience participation will be encouraged and supervisory questions can be asked.

Dr Claudia Herbert Biography
In 1997, I founded The Oxford Development Centre, which is now an incorporated Ltd company and consists of Oxfordshire's Independent Psychology Service, The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre, Psychology for Business and The Centre for Trauma and Positive Growth. I am a specialist in the field of trauma, for both single incident and complex trauma presentations, including dissociation and personality disorders, in connection with which I present at conferences worldwide, train, lecture, research, supervise, prepare medico-legal reports and advice other professionals. As part of The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre I lead a team of Chartered Clinical Psychologists, Accredited Psychotherapists and EMDR Practitioners. We provide specialist trauma treatment integrating Cognitive-Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and concepts from Attachment Theory, Neurophysiological and Bodywork for children, adolescents and adults.
I have extensive experience of working with clients from multiple trauma backgrounds, including with survivors of large scale Man-made Disasters, such as in Shipping, Air, Rail- and Road Transport, Explosions and Fires; Natural Disasters, such as Earthquakes, Floods, Volcano Eruptions and Tsunami; Violence, Crime and Terrorist attacks, such as Childhood Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Shootings, Stabbings, Hostage Takings and Torture, Bomb Explosions; Wars, Invasions, Experiences of Solitary Confinement and Torture and many other traumas. I have extensively worked with personnel from the UK police forces; emergency personnel; armed forces personnel, including the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy; and personnel of private security and diplomatic services. I was trained in an EMDR-based method of Traumatic Incident Reduction Debriefing by Dr Roger Solomon in 1999 and have since supported organizations to help them deal with the effects of critical incidents on their staff. I have also worked with victims of homicide and was invited in 2001 to give the memorial speech for victims of homicide at the church of St. Martin's-in-the-Field in London. I have published several articles and three books on trauma, which have been translated in countries worldwide. I am the editor of several books including a self-help series for adolescents and a book on resolving relationship problems. I am engaged in various professional organisations, sit on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy and have worked with organizations and business as a consultant since 1994. I am a recognized practitioner for BUPA, PPP, CIGNA, Norwich Union Healthcare and other healthcare provider and I am frequently consulted by the media on a number of professional issues, including trauma related problems and have featured in articles and TV and radio broadcasts.
