This interest crosses over into her work in the education of family therapists, and particularly how to resource students to manage performance anxiety in both clinical and supervision contexts. Robyn has provided consultation and training nationally and internationally to health and welfare professionals in family therapy, trauma, and in the supervision of family therapists.
