Training:
We cultivate professional growth. By providing clinicians and educators with evidence-based training, we help spread deep roots of psychological knowledge across the wider community.
Psychological knowledge is most useful when it can be understood, shared and brought into everyday practice.
At Luma, we provide evidence-based, practical training for clinicians, educators, organisations and teams. Our training can be tailored to the needs of the people we are working with, from introductory awareness sessions to more in-depth professional development.
Training can include:
Trauma-informed practice – developing an understanding of trauma and its impact on behaviour, relationships, emotional regulation and engagement.
Understanding anxiety – exploring anxiety, avoidance and the ways we can support people to manage difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Neurodiversity-informed practice – developing greater understanding of neurodiversity and considering how environments and services can become more accessible and supportive.
Compassion-focused approaches – introducing the principles of compassion, self-compassion and emotional regulation and how these can be incorporated into professional practice.
CBT-informed approaches – practical understanding of CBT principles and how they can be used appropriately within different professional settings.
Emotional wellbeing – helping staff and educators understand emotional distress and develop practical ways of responding.
Working with children and young people – supporting professionals to understand and respond to emotional and psychological difficulties within educational and community settings.
Workforce wellbeing and resilience – exploring stress, burnout, compassion fatigue and the importance of psychologically healthy workplaces.
Reflective practice and psychological safety – helping teams develop spaces where people can think, learn, speak openly and support one another.
Trauma and the therapeutic relationship – exploring how trauma can influence trust, relationships, boundaries and engagement with services.
