My experience of completing the Accreditation Module in NVR has been both enriching and inspiring.

As a clinical psychologist working in children’s social care, I was struck by the levels of violence and controlling behaviours within the context of child-parent relationships.  I felt out of my depth and turned to NVR with healthy scepticism and hope.  I have not since turned back – except when reflecting of course ;)

To me, it has always felt intuitive and necessary to take account of relational dynamics when working towards contextualised understandings of difficulty or distress.  It is therefore perhaps not surprising that within both my individual practice and wider systems work, NVR has become my most valued position from which to influence and resist.
