Embodied Relational Diploma in Counselling
(Levels 3 & 4)
A deeply relational and embodied pathway into counselling practice, shaped by a wide constellation of therapeutic, developmental, and cultural lineages that honour the complexity of human experience.
Heart-Based Experiential
A one-day immersive experience exploring how we relate from the heart, and what happens in the space between people. These days offer a lived introduction to the foundations of our Embodied Relational Counselling Diploma.
NARM® Training options
Developed by Dr. Laurence Heller, NARM® is a groundbreaking clinical model for addressing developmental and complex trauma. It invites psychotherapists, counsellors, and mental health professionals to dive deeper into this transformative clinical approach.
The Trauma Training Institute (TTI) UK is a dedicated provider of professional training in relational, embodied, and experiential trauma therapy approaches, including the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®).
Our Approach
Relational and Somatic Foundations
Rooted in contemporary relational and somatic approaches we centre attuned relationship, nervous system regulation, and a growing capacity for agency, choice, and contact.
Developmental and Relational Psychology
Drawing from developmental psychology, attachment theory, object relations, and relational psychoanalysis, we explore how early relational environments shape patterns of protection, identity, and connection, and how these may soften in the presence of safety and relationship.
Ecological and Justice-Informed Perspectives
Informed by earth-based understandings and nature-connected practices, we hold healing within larger living systems, alongside decolonial and social justice reflection on power, culture, difference, and social context.
We specialise in in-person, experiential training because we believe experiential learning deepens our capacity for working with complex trauma in relationship.
Our live trainings provide the clinical depth that supports an embodied and relational understanding of trauma work, cultivating the capacity for presence, connection and therapeutic attunement, so foundational to relational and somatic approaches (including NARM®).
Our Mission
Our mission at TTI UK is to provide mental health practitioners and clinicians with relational, embodied, non-pathologising, and depth-oriented approaches that genuinely address complex trauma and human suffering in ways that support agency and self-awareness.
We are proud to champion Dr. Lawrence Heller's pioneering NARM® model across the UK, Ireland, and beyond, alongside other transformative relational and somatic approaches.
We support a diverse range of professionals—psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches, mental health nurses, bodyworkers, and somatic practitioners—offering therapeutic tools to work with the impacts of difficult childhood experiences and relational wounding on our capacity to lead healthy, connected lives.
