Meet Our Qualified Professionals
For Professionals
Our Professionals
Our team includes a BACP accredited counsellor and a qualified registered social worker. They have extensive experience in child and adult protection and providing therapeutic services. They are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for our clients to heal from trauma. This includes supporting the professionals around them to feel more empowered and trauma-informed.
Training Events for Professionals
We believe that our training is of interest to a wide range of professionals across the health care, social care and education sectors in particular. We can offer support to mental health workers, counsellors and others in helping professions. We are also keen to work with any agency who is looking to increase trauma awareness in their organisation.
We are proud to hold CPD Training Providers accreditation, which provides you with confidence in booking your professional training with us.
We will be seeking CPD accreditation for individual courses as we develop them.
Team Bookings
Our training events can be booked for your team if you are 10 or more, or you can book on to training sessions or workshops as an individual. These are available on Eventbrite, dates are advertised on our social media platforms, or you can contact us for upcoming dates.
If you have a team booking, we may be able to adapt the training to meet your specific requirements such as the client group that you work with, and aligned to the knowledge that your team currently holds.
Our team's focus is on understanding trauma and dissociative disorders, advocating for change in how trauma is understood and treated. We aim to help our clients build positive lives after experiencing various traumatic events, which is enhanced when professionals have a deeper understanding.
Current Training
- What is Dissociation? - A look at the dissociative disorders, what they are and what they are not. How this may be present in the people you work with, and how you can support them.
- Decreasing Triggers in Health Care - The proportion of those who have experienced trauma not attending medical appointments and procedures due to fear is significant. Through first hand experience we look at how you as professionals can change this in the health setting, and how you can support people to feel safer in that environment so they can have their needs met.
- Understanding Trauma and the Brain - Exploring the psychology of trauma; in understanding the science we help you to remove the shame and stigma for your client group. We look at how to work with people to calm their brain.
Students
We have been supporting medical students over the past year, and will be working with a further two groups of 3rd year medical students in 24/25.
We are teaching them about understanding attachment patterns and what impacts them. Following the success of our work last year we have been asked to write and deliver this teaching as part of the core curriculum. This is an important development as it will inform and influence the next generation of medical professionals.
We are also addressing how people are supported in medical settings. This has been born of many years of challenge in medical environments where trauma is often replayed. Building an awareness of this and how to reduce triggers and build trust and safety is something we are passionate about. We look forward to commencing this project later this year.
If you feel we could assist your students, please get in touch.
