I really like this work

Variety

I have a chequered career in terms of variety. I've worked in catering, agriculture, laundries, retail, hospitals and a techi company to name just a few! I've also lived in many places, both abroad and in the UK.

And I have generally only stayed in a job while I was enjoying it, so not many regrets and lots of really great experiences.

Enjoy

But this work with BAAM beats many of them. I really enjoy feeling I am doing something that has a benefit to other people. I really love understanding and learning more every day, from the people I meet and the training I do.

Making a difference

Yesterday I thought about this a lot. The programme material we deliver seems to open eyes and help clients look at the world afresh. All sorts of people.

Yes, our programmes are not just for people desperate to sort their unhealthy anger. Our programme material is valued by experienced counsellors who want to learn more about themselves, by senior managers who want to get better at dealing with tough conversations, and by parents who want to help their children express their emotions.

So I hope you will think differently about anger management - it's emotional management training for everyone, and everyone benefits. And I also hope you will get in touch sometime with your experiences of anger.

About Paula Backen

Over twenty years practising as a communication therapist, mostly with adult clients who have neurological / psychiatric conditions, I have experience of delivering a wide variety of training programmes both in groups and on an individual basis.

 

My recent work as a therapist has been strongly influenced by solution focussed therapy and I am keen to encourage my clients to draw on their own strengths to find ways to express their anger more assertively, with the help of the tools and strategies developed through the BA-AM programme.
