Dr Jay Watts

I am a specialist in working with people whose reality has been denied. This can be a result of:

• narcissistic abuse from family, partners or colleagues
  
• individual or organisational gaslighting
• transgenerational and historical trauma
• a chaotic, violent or inconsistent upbringing 

I work to build up a sense-of-self for those who have never had the space to develop this, or who have had a former confidence systematically eroded.

As I have had the privilege of working with patients on this for many years now, I am lucky enough to be invited to keynote and teach on this internationally. I am a well-known champion of complex trauma - cPTSD - and trauma-informed care in the health system with a special focus on the person-in-pain's right to define their own experience.
