Trauma-Informed Coach CPD Certificate Training

Integrative | Compassionate | Client-oriented

Coaches and practitioners are most effective when they are trauma-sensitive, trauma-informed and trauma-skilled.

This 18-hour live online CPD Certificate Training equips you with the essential knowledge, models and practical skills to coach safely and confidently when trauma and adversity surface in your client work.

Delivered by Joanna Harper, author of The Trauma-Informed Coach, this professional development course brings together an integrative coaching approach with under pinning theoretical models and principles to help you work with compassion, safety and ethical integrity.

Why This Training Matters

Many clients bring more to coaching than goals and aspirations. Beneath challenges in performance, relationships or emotional regulation, there can be histories of stress, loss and adversity.

When coaches are not trauma-aware, even well-intentioned interventions can trigger or overwhelm.
This training closes that gap — helping you understand how the effects of adversity, distress and trauma can emerge in coaching, and how to respond safely, ethically and effectively.

You will learn to recognise the signs of trauma, regulate your own state, maintain clear boundaries, and create a safe space for transformation and growth.

• Ten Trauma-Informed Core Competencies essential to safe, ethical practice.
• Integrative coaching models developed by Joanna Harper — GROUNDED, APEX,.
• How to recognise sub-clinical PTSD, complex trauma, stress and dysregulation in coaching clients.
• The presentation of trauma across different contexts – personal coaching, leadership, and organisational settings.

• Understanding types of trauma – acute, developmental, complex, relational, intergenerational, and vicarious.
• How to work safely within your scope of practice, including screening, safeguarding, referral and supervision.
