What is the Trauma-Informed Practice Course?

At a Glance

The Trauma-Informed Practice Course is a 60-hour CPD course for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists who want to work more confidently, ethically, and safely with clients affected by trauma. It builds a trauma-informed lens for your existing practice — not a trauma therapy specialism.

What the course gives you

The transformation members consistently describe: going from fear and hesitation in the therapy room — worrying you'll re-traumatise or freeze when a client dissociates — to feeling calm, competent, and confident, with a toolkit of models and strategies you can draw on safely.

You stop dreading sessions where trauma might surface. You start being able to hold the space.
