Facilitation of community group programs including; Brene Brown’s – Connections, Blue Knot -Foundations for Building Trauma Awareness, Managing Wellbeing and Recognising Vicarious Trauma, and Trauma Awareness: Supporting People with a disability. Her expertise has allowed her to not only help her community with trauma related issues, but future professionals as they study in some of Australia’s universities. Lou intricately weaves SE into her specialised teachings in university courses such as ‘Introduction to Trauma Counselling’, ‘Experiential Group Therapy’ and ‘Group Supervision’.

Her studies in the field continue and are guided by the work of Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Abi Blakeslee PhD, Twig Wheeler, Dr. Frank Corrigan, Mark Seelig and Babette Rothschild.
