Training for practitioners & teams

I deliver relationship-based, trauma-sensitive and neuroaffirmative training for both parents and professionals working with children and families. Explore the programmes below — and read on for the full detail of each. I'm also happy to design bespoke training for schools and professional teams.

Bespoke

Custom training for schools & teams

Every setting is different. Alongside my scheduled courses, I design bespoke training programmes for schools and professional teams, tailored to the needs of individual schools, services and multidisciplinary teams.

Whether you're a school looking to build a shared understanding of regulation and neuroaffirmative practice, or a professional team wanting practical, relationship-based tools, I can shape a session or series around your goals, your context and your people.

Bespoke training can cover

  • Regulation, co-regulation and the nervous system
  • Trauma-sensitive and neuroaffirmative practice
  • Relationship-based approaches with children
  • Sensory processing and individual differences
  • Supporting children in care
  • Whole-school and whole-team approaches
