Welcome to the Trauma Training Institute (TTI) UK - supporting the growing movement of trauma-informed mental health practitioners in the UK and beyond, through expert training in cutting-edge therapeutic approaches.
The Trauma Training Institute (TTI) UK provides clinical and professional trainings alongside on-going professional support to psychotherapists, counsellors and mental health practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of how to work with developmental trauma.
We specialise in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®) widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive and precise clinical models for working with developmental trauma.
As the UK's exclusive provider of professional NARM® training, we are excited to bring this transformative model to practitioners who have been waiting for accessible, high quality training on home soil.
We specialise in in-person training because we believe experiential learning deepens our capacity for working with complex trauma.
Our live trainings provide the clinical depth that supports an embodied understanding of trauma work, cultivating the capacity for presence, connection and therapeutic attunement, so foundational to this model.
"NARM is one of the most sophisticated and effective approaches I’ve encountered for healing developmental trauma. It elegantly integrates somatic, relational, and mindfulness-based interventions into a comprehensive framework that addresses both psychological and physiological aspects of trauma.”
– Dr. Gabor Maté
