Welcome to ROAR (Restorative Outcomes and Resilience)! We are two Clinical Psychologists with 15 years experience in and out of the NHS. We are offering EMDR Wellbeing Groups designed for staff who work in a high stress environment. Our aim is to provide a supportive and restorative space for staff to enhance their wellbeing and resilience.

Dr Naomi Filio and Dr J Isabel Battye 

Both Naomi and Isabel trained together at Salomons, Cantebury Christchurch University qualifying in 2009.  Each specialised in different ends of the life span with Naomi eventually becoming a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in Older Adult Services and Isabel a Principal Clinical Psychologist in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in the NHS.

​

Having both worked in leadership through the pandemic they were responsible for trying to prioritise the wellbeing of the clinical staff they worked with in their individual teams through supervision, training and remote general support. 

​

During this time Naomi and Isabel both trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and used it successfully with many clients from childhood to late adulthood.  Both have 5 years experience of delivering EMDR and seeing the simple yet profound impact it can have on every day wellbeing.

​

So now Naomi and Isabel are offering groups to staff in organisations or teams where the work is stressful to help mange distress and build resilience to make working life easier.

GTEP

GTEP stands for Group Traumatic Episode Protocol and is the name given to the stand alone 2 hour group protocol that can be used with groups of up to 10 people.  Please see the Resources page for a list of current evidence for GTEP.

​

GTEP was originally designed for groups of people going through a collective trauma.  During Covid 19 it was used for people during lockdown by various organisation to support their staff with the stress of working through a pandemic.

While Lockdown is over the world continues to be busy and stressful especially at work"
