Over the last 18 months I have assisted clients with a profile of Autism, ADHD, PTSD, extreme anxiety, a full range of mental health needs and associated Communication Difficulties. The priority for these clients is for the Intermediary to have the required skills to manage the demonstrated behaviour and for them to take time to support the client through these traumatic episodes. This is achieved through the acknowledgement of the client’s feelings and by developing clear, simple, transparent strategies that can be used consistently throughout the trial process. An example of this would be the introduction and development of the technique of ‘grounding’ with the client. These strategies need to be implemented and practised with the client ahead of time in order for them to be effective in court. Meetings prior to trial in order to build rapport, gain trust and work through strategies are vital. This is an approach that I have used successfully with a range of clients. My CV clearly demonstrates this, if you require a copy of my CV, please contact me.
