The Trauma-Sense Programme

Level 2: Becoming Trauma-Informed for Doctors

Having completed Level 1 of the Trauma-Sense Programme, you may choose to continue with Level 2 ‘Becoming Trauma-Informed for Doctors’ to further bolster your skills and deepen your clinical confidence when dealing with patients who have a trauma history.

In this 9-week programme, taught LIVE, you will deepen your understanding of psychological trauma & how to apply this understanding in your practice through a combination of teaching and experiential case-work.

If you’d like to join us in the next cohort, starting on 12th May 2026, please click the button below.

Trauma-Sense Level 2 will always be capped at small numbers, to ensure a safe space to deeply explore these topics in relation to ourselves and clients.

“I use it all the time in my professional work as a coach and trainer; also, for engaging with friends and colleagues who are struggling.
I volunteer to run workshops in schools and it's now very obvious that trauma is embedded into a significant percentage of our children - particularly in deprived areas. This has opened up some really interesting conversations about the way we "do" education in this country - and how best to help those who are presenting with trauma symptoms while also trying to learn or even just get through the school day.”
(Dr Vanessa Collingridge)
“I joined Trauma Sense to ensure that I handled potential trauma in a way that would not do further damage to my clients. I learnt immediately how to spot signs and symptoms of trauma, how to approach it positively with my clients and when to refer to a trauma specialist. In particular, I really enjoyed applying the different psychological theories to my coaching practice. Expertly run by Dr Susanna Petche.”
(Dr Hannah Roberts)
“I highly recommend Trauma-Sense to anyone working with people in a coaching or healthcare capacity. I learnt so much about how to recognise trauma; how to support those with trauma and when to refer on. My confidence in supporting those with trauma has increased and I'm regularly using what I have learnt on the course. The course is very practical and the ability to discuss cases in a group and have Susanna's expert guidance and insights from other participants was invaluable.”
(Dr Becki Taylor-Smith)

Outcomes:

There are the expected outcomes of being more confident in being able to recognise the behaviours, and physical/mental health impacts of psychological trauma in your patients. You will gain tips on managing situations with patients as they arise during consultations.

As a consequence, you will be able to support your patients fully - be able to unlock self sabotaging behaviour and get incredible results for your patients - which previously may have seemed out of reach.

The unexpected outcomes are the personal growth. People join the Trauma-Sense programme for professional growth but all who have participated in the programme have fed back on the huge impacts in their personal life: a deep understanding of themselves, with positive knock-on impacts with their relationships, both personal and professional. They have more compassion for patients, less shame around stress and overwhelm, and better boundaries.

Please note:

This programme is not in place of medical care - if you are unwell, please seek support through the usual channels. See below for links.

This is a professional development training- which yes, has the potential to impact individuals, but is designed specifically for coaches and wellbeing professionals to enhance their work and become Trauma-Informed.
