Where Trauma Meets Transformation:
Your Successful Coaching Story Starts Today!
Do you yearn to turn the pain of your own trauma into a powerful purpose?
Are you eager to learn how to progress in your own healing journey and guide others through similar experiences, even if you’ve never coached before?
Whether you’re looking for intentional healing tools that leave a more meaningful impact on your clients…
You dream of taking trauma informed healing strategies into schools, healthcare systems, or even the corporate space…
You recognise that being trauma informed is actually an essential life skill to have and anyone working with others should be trauma informed…
Or simply want to help others move forward and fully embrace the life they deserve…
You’re in the right place!
Become One Of The World’s FIRST Qualified Trauma Informed Coaches
The Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching & Leadership Certification is not only ICF & CPD Accredited but is an actual QUALIFICATION recognised by a GLOBALLY RECOGNISED governing body CMI, regulated by Ofqual to a Level 7, Masters degree equivalent.
A Staggering Number Of Coaches Lack Vital Trauma-Informed Expertise
The truth is, there’s a vast information gap when it comes to trauma.
Experiencing trauma is NOT the same as being TRAUMA INFORMED
Many coaches, even those with years of experience, often lack an in-depth understanding of how trauma manifests in different individuals.
One critical aspect that many coaches in this space overlook is the SOMATIC (body) element of healing.
Cognitive practices alone are insufficient.
You cannot think your way out of trauma – that’s just not how it works!
This gap in knowledge not only leads to frustration for coaches but, more importantly, for those seeking support.
When You Don’t Have A Comprehensive Grasp Of Trauma, You Can:
Inadvertently Miss Crucial Cues
Without a comprehensive understanding of trauma, coaches may unintentionally overlook vital signs and signals from their clients, preventing them from receiving the help they truly need.
Offer Inadequate Guidance
Coaches lacking a deep grasp of trauma offer generic, ineffective strategies and fail to address the client’s unique trauma-related challenges. This leaves them feeling unsupported and unheard.
Unintentionally Retraumatize Clients
The most concerning consequence of insufficient knowledge in trauma is the potential to unintentionally retraumatise clients by introducing triggering topics, exercises, or approaches that cause harm, rather than healing.
This One-Of-A-Kind Qualification Sets You Apart
You recognise that, whether you’re an existing professional, a coach, a therapist, or a manager, understanding trauma is crucial when working with people face to face.
You know the people you connect with carry past experiences that affect their present, and your trauma-informed knowledge and skills can be the catalyst to break patterns and guide their healing to their version of success.
You’re confident that your true purpose is to help others heal and grow.
Imagine If You:
- Became an expert in both mind AND body, understanding how both elements accelerate healing; allowing you to be the best coach for your clients.
- Knew how to maximise compassion, kindness, and genuine connection to minimise feelings of judgement, shame, & guilt in those battling trauma.
- Were fluent in the language of embodied communication transforming the way you understand and show up for your clients in each and every session knowing if they were in a fight/flight or freeze response.
- Had an in-depth understanding of trauma, how it manifests in different people and the psychological, behavioural, & somatic barriers that can halt progress.
- Showed up in SELF energy every day, providing effective strategies to guide your client’s healing and creating a safe space for them to do so.
- Empowered clients to reframe their relationship with trauma, viewing it through a somatic, trauma-informed lens for a brighter, more present future.

‘Quality Programme & Great Value For Money’
“Caroline does a stellar job delivering abstruse concepts and weaving together numerous approaches, in a down-to-earth, relatable, easy-to-digest way, ideal even for absolute beginners. I appreciated the fact that although she could have put together a course that sounded like speeches from a high throne, as many others do, she chose a humane approach, infused with humour and casual expressions, without being any less professional.
The course is packed with knowledge and practical applications, offering a complete, balanced, 360-degree approach to a multifaceted topic. Quality programme and great value for money, highly recommended!”

Your Teacher: Caroline Strawson
Hello, I’m Caroline Strawson, a multi-award winning ICF Accredited Trauma Informed Therapist & Coach and founder of The Accredited School of Trauma Informed Positive Psychology
I may be all that, but I am, first and foremost, human. Just like you.
In 2010, I experienced a series of life changing traumatic events. My mum, who was my rock, died very suddenly, and my husband walked out on me and our two children and I realised I had been in an abusive marriage .
I was left with over £70,000 ($100,000) worth of debt and, at that time, even lost my family home in 2013. I was homeless with two children. I was at rock bottom, a shell of myself.
Eventually, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, and realised that I was suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and self harm. All the while thinking “How could an intelligent woman like myself, with a medical background, find herself in this situation!?!”
I felt stupid, alone, isolated, and in a very dark place. No one seemed to understand what I was going through, and the more I seemed to talk about the trauma and abuse I suffered, the more I felt misunderstood.
The truth is, I needed someone who understood my trauma, but that person didn’t exist.
My personal journey with abuse, trauma and healing, paired with my background in neuroscience and professional coaching experience and therapy, inspired me to take this path to educate people like you so that you can understand how your experiences have impacted you and how you can heal.
Why Should You Listen To Me?
I Don’t Want Anyone Else To Suffer The Pain I Did For As Long As I Did
Over the years, I’ve worked hard to educate myself in this space to ensure that I can help more sufferers of abuse and trauma to heal deeply.
I want you to have your own personal EVOLUTION just like I have because life is for living and not existing and I spent decades merely existing.
In that time, I’ve achieved the following qualifications and certifications that allow me to do this:
- BSc (Hons)
- PGCert in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology
- Accredited Narcissistic Abuse Specialist
- Brainspotting Phase 3
- Internal Family Systems Level 3
- Somatic Experiencing (Advanced)
- ICF Accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coach
- Certified High-Performance Coach
- Accredited Divorce & Breakup Coach
- EMDR (Attachment-Focused) Practitioner
- Clinical Hypnotherapist & Master Hypnotherapy Trainer
- Certified Breathwork Teacher
- Polyvagal Informed
- Applied Neuroscience & Brain Health Certification
- Advanced Certificate in Domestic Abuse
- Safe & Sound Protocol Practitioner
I’m On A Mission To Equip The World With Trauma-Informed Strategies
Host of #1 Podcast
I host the #1 iTunes Podcast ‘The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast’, providing my community with additional tangible tools and techniques to help them on their recovery journey with over 4.3 million downloads.
