Speaking & Training

Bringing Difficult Conversations Into the Room

Patrycja speaks and trains on the subjects most people avoid. Manipulation, trauma, shame, and disclosure, with clinical depth and plain language that any audience can use.

For professionals

CPD-Accredited Training

In partnership with the Australian Association of Social Workers, Patrycja delivers accredited professional development for social workers, counsellors, psychologists and frontline staff, including virtual workshops carrying CPD hours in mental health categories.

Sessions combine clinical frameworks with case material and structured discussion, so practitioners leave with something they can apply in their next appointment rather than notes they’ll never revisit.

For community

Community Workshops

Patrycja also runs low-cost workshops for community groups, schools, seniors’ organisations and multicultural communities, on recognising scams, understanding trauma, and building everyday emotional resilience.

These sessions are deliberately jargon-free and can be delivered online or in person, in a single session or as a short series.
