As mental health professionals, we play a pivotal role in equipping caregivers with the tools they need to support bereaved children. ❤️‍🩹

Central to this is ensuring caregivers understand and can communicate these 4 foundational concepts about death that are essential to healthy childhood grieving. 👇🏼

🌱 Nurturing Attachments: A Foundational Training for Professionals Working with Children and Families 🌱

Every behaviour tells an attachment story. For all professionals supporting children and families, understanding why children respond the way they do — and how caregivers can become the agents of healing — is fundamental to ethical, effective practice.

This training offers a structured, theory-informed and deeply practical approach to therapeutic parenting, grounded in attachment theory and real-world application. Through a blend of recorded learning and live online contact sessions, this course provides a clear framework for both groupwork and individual interventions, as well as hands-on techniques to facilitate secure attachment between caregivers and children. 📙

If you work with trauma, behavioural difficulties, placement instability, or family repair, this is not an “extra” course — it is a core, foundational competency that strengthens everything else you do in practice. 🙌🏻

When a child experiences loss, the way adults respond can shape how they process grief for years to come. ❤️‍🩹

Children and teenagers do not grieve in the same way adults do. Their understanding of death, their emotional responses, and the way they express loss are deeply influenced by their developmental stage. This makes specialised skills essential for professionals supporting them. 📙

Join us for Bereavement Counselling for Children & Teenagers, a practical training course designed to help practitioners confidently support young people through loss.

In this training you will explore:
• How children understand and experience death at different developmental stages
• The emotional and psychological impact of bereavement on children
• The role of the practitioner when supporting grieving children and families
• A structured therapeutic approach for bereavement-focused work with children

The training includes 2 hours of pre-recorded learning followed by a live online contact session where practical techniques and demonstrations will be shared. 💻

Working with trauma requires more than compassion — it requires sound theory, structure, and practical skill. Without this foundation, we risk feeling overwhelmed, ineffective, or unintentionally doing more harm than good.

Our Structured Trauma Therapy training equips professionals with a solid theoretical understanding of trauma and the neurobiology behind it, alongside a clear, structured approach to trauma therapy. You’ll gain practical skills in emotional regulation, motivation for therapy, and working safely in the here and now using a bottom-up approach. 🧠

This training is ideal for professionals who want to work ethically, confidently, and effectively with trauma — grounded in evidence-based practice and real-world application.

📅 17, 24, 31 March + 7 April

Before we begin divorce counselling with a child, we need to understand where they are developmentally. 🧡

Children don’t experience divorce in the same way at every age — their reactions, fears, behaviours, and coping strategies are shaped by their developmental stage. As professionals, knowing this isn’t optional — it’s foundational. Developmentally informed practice helps us respond with empathy, tailor our interventions, and truly hear the child behind the behaviour. 🧠

In our upcoming course on Divorce Counselling for Children, we’ll be breaking this down in detail, and discussing how we can support children therapeutically during each stage ❤️‍🩹
