Enhancing Household Cohesion and Stability: A Systemic Approach to Trauma-Informed Therapy for Carers and Children

Read the summary →Guest lectures and invited presentations
Alongside conference work we offer a range of guest lectures into higher education organisations. Our educators hold current university teaching appointments alongside clinical caseloads, so a guest lecture brings live casework into the room rather than a set of slides about it. Contact us to discuss topics and availability.
Who presents
Most of this work is led by Rana Kökçinar, AkindaCo's Senior Psychotherapist, Family Therapist and Education Lead, who presents regularly at national and international conferences. Meet the people who teach our courses.
