CPD/CE‑Accredited Trauma‑Informed & Positive Psychology Workshops For Schools

Evidence‑based training that reduces stress, improves culture, and helps your school community thrive.

The Problem We Solve

Stress is costing your school more than you realise.

Escalating behaviour and emotional needs

that staff are expected to manage without consistent frameworks or training

Burned‑out, overstretched staff

juggling behaviour, safeguarding and wellbeing alongside rising accountability pressure

Inconsistent responses to behaviour

that increase exclusions, conflict and lost learning time

Safeguarding managed in crisis mode,

rather than through calm, preventative systems

Classrooms that feel reactive rather than safe,

making regulation, learning and connection harder for everyone

We help schools move from firefighting to calm, consistent, trauma‑informed practice – where adults feel confident, pupils feel safe, and learning can take place.

Your people want to thrive — they just need the right support.

How These Workshops Help Schools

Staff and leaders will gain the confidence and tools to:

Understand trauma, stress and nervous system responses in children and young people.

Recognise fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses.

Respond to behaviour with compassion & clarity.

Co‑regulate stressed or dysregulated students.

Reduce their own stress & emotional exhaustion.

Build psychologically safe classrooms & staff teams.

Embed wellbeing and emotional literacy into everyday practice.

This is strategic. Practical. And transformational.

Nick came to do some CPD at the Association for Professional Hypnosis & Psychotherapy (APHP) It was an interesting, informative session and our members really did get some insight into how trauma informed practice can be effective for their clients. He used some helpful resources and gave hints and suggestions on how to help a client move from trauma responses into a calmer mindset. Really helpful. Thank you!
