Lorna Peddie
I am a director in Recovery Coaching Scotland as well as Families Director.
I have experience across substance use services of around 20 years.
My work has been in families, young people, children and adults, focussed on behaviour change using CBT approaches, motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy in recovery based services that are trauma informed. I specialised in pregnancy and early years for around 10 years with a focus on impact, working with social work, health professional education and various other services.
I have developed a number of groups, and trained in SMART, mutual aid partnership, peep baby, solihull and survive and thrive as well as managing children’s behaviour and building self esteem. I have experience in senior roles across the drug and alcohol field.
I have a diploma in coaching and mentoring, drug and alcohol and CBT. I have an HNC, SVQ3 and numerous smaller pieces of training I have completed.
Over the last 12 months, I wanted to widen my skills and knowledge in complementary therapies. I have completed Reiki 1 and 2, I am now studying master Reiki level, I have trained in Japanese hand massage and just completed my first EFT course. I am now well on my way to becoming accredited in EFT. Auricular Acupuncture is another skill I have trained in, and recently updated this so i am my very best at what i can provide.
I am now studying APS Trauma Informed Trust which is giving me more insight and knowledge about trauma’s impacts and how people can recover. I am passionate about family support with a focus on the whole family. Identifying the needs of a family and supporting them to recover together and build long lasting healthy attachments that will benefit generation after generation.
Working for/with Recovery Coaching Scotland is a great honour, I am looking forward to being part of a great organisation that has grown with a lot of success over the recent
