Working Towards a Trauma-Informed World
Dr. Susanna Petche is redefining trauma care and leading a movement for change.
As founder of Trauma-Sense and creator of the C-Sense methodology, she integrates neuroscience, functional medicine, and coaching to help people recognise and break free from the impacts and hidden effects of psychological trauma.
With over 25 years as a GP, Dr. Petche saw how unresolved trauma drives many physical and mental health issues - often overlooked in traditional care. In response, she created Trauma-Sense: a platform offering training for coaches, health and wellbeing professionals, workplace education, and 1:1 support for healing trauma.

Her flagship programme Trauma-Sense: Level 1 Becoming Trauma-Aware and Level 2 Becoming Trauma-Informed; blend science, practical tools, and empathy. Described as “life-changing,” they equip practitioners to recognise and respond to trauma safely, hold trauma-sensitive conversations, and avoid burnout while supporting true healing.
Dr. Petche also designed and led ConnectionWorks, an NHS-funded program for people with Complex PTSD and Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, demonstrating the impact of trauma-informed care in mainstream services.
A sought-after speaker, she has shared stages with Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr Stephen Porges and Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and regularly appears on podcasts and panels. Her work challenges outdated approaches to trauma and inspires a more compassionate, evidence-based path to healing and resilience.
