She has trained several thousand mental health clinicians in the treatment of PTSD and Complex PTSD internationally.

Brief content:

There is a difference in the best-practice treatment for PTSD and Complex PTSD. This program synthesises practical approaches from several modalities that are publishing positive outcomes for these clients and presents them using actual cases that will underpin your clinical practice in traumatology. The content is applicable to both adult and adolescent populations. The techniques will be immediately useful in clinical practice. The program will explain when exposure-based interventions are indicated and appropriate, and when other therapeutic needs must be addressed first.

Day 1-2 is dedicated to treating PTSD clients utilising a cognitive behavioural approach. Day 3-4 is dedicated to the treatment of Complex PTSD (survivors of child abuse and neglect/ prolonged interpersonal trauma) utilising the phase-based approach and incorporating current experiential techniques showing promising results with this population; drawn from Emotion Focused Therapy for trauma, metacognitive treatments, Schema Therapy, attachment pathology treatments, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.

After completing Day 4, you can complete four optional trauma case studies to help you apply the skills presented in the training. The trauma case study time commitment will require a total of 12 hours. Participation will improve your ability to formulate a case plan for trauma clients using the Day 1-4 skills.

The full four-day online program with optional case studies attracts 42 CPD/CE hours (or 30 CPD/CE for Day -1-4 program without case studies). Highly detailed, instructive manuals are provided for Day 1-2 (190 pages) and for Day 3-4 (171 pages).
