Consulting

A therapist in a consulting role uses their knowledge of mental health, trauma, and human behaviour to:

• Advise organisations, agencies, or professionals on best practices in mental health support
   
• Train staff or teams in trauma-informed care, client communication, or crisis response
   
• Support non-clinical professionals (like managers, educators, or community workers) in understanding the emotional needs of the people they serve
   
• Collaborate on policy, program development, or service delivery with a therapeutic lens
   

They act more like a mental health advisor, helping others create safer, more supportive, and psychologically informed environments.

• Adult entertainment agencies or sex worker advocacy groups (e.g. providing training on how to support workers' wellbeing)
   
• Women’s shelters or DV services (e.g. advising on trauma-informed intake procedures)
   
• Community or youth programs (e.g. supporting frontline staff with mental health awareness)
   
• Legal, medical, or justice systems (e.g. supporting victims of crime)
   
• Creative industries or NGOs needing mental health input
   
• Helping a company develop mental health protocols or staff support services
   
• Supporting frontline workers who experience vicarious trauma
   
• Providing debriefing or reflective supervision to staff in high-stress environments
   
• Advising on how to respond sensitively to disclosures of trauma or abuse
   
• Helping organisations navigate boundaries and ethical care for vulnerable individuals
