Online Specialist Training and CPD for Counsellors & Psychotherapists
We provide specialist online training for counsellors & psychotherapists - but it's still small size, interactive, informative & engaging!
This is not just boring "sit and listen"... we encourage questions and we provide thought-provoking activities.
We cover a wide range of topics from trauma and Pre-Trial Therapy to more creative areas like Working with Nesting Dolls and Therapeutic writing

The Unwanted Legacy - Generational Trauma
Would you like to know more about this cutting edge area of research and the latest understanding on how generational trauma happens?
We know from our training that early life shapes us but what if it's even more nuanced than that?
In the emerging field of epigentics scientists are discovering the mechanisms by which past generations trauma can be passed down to future generations.
It's fascinating! And we distill it down into easily understandable nuggets.

Working with complex PTSD and Dissociation
Would you like to know more about the impact of dissociation & how to work with it?
Do you know the signs of dissociation & would you recognise it in your clients?
Maybe you know a bit, but you'd like to know more?
We look at the impact of long-term child abuse, the role of shame and how dissociation impacts. We consider the diagnosis of cPTSD - whether we agree with diagnosis or not the symptoms are present in many trauma impacted clients.
