Beyond Psychology

We help to improve the mental health of children and families

Important Update: Beyond Psychology’s Closure March 2024

Research and evidence based workshops and training

Beyond Psychology continue to offer training and workshops with a focus on trauma-informed approaches. These are particularly for those working alongside children and young people who have experienced early life trauma to help support understanding of the impact on development and consider how best to support healing

Our experts have developed a series of workshops and training courses using a research and evidence based approach conducted by Clinical Psychologists. We bring our experience and expertise to parents, carers, and teams of all sizes who work with children and families. We have a particular expertise in the areas of trauma and attachment.

We work with individuals, schools, care services and large public sector organisations,

In person workshops and bespoke training

We provide our training programmes and workshops for different needs and circumstances and therefore tailor the format of delivery to your setting to suit your particular needs. We provide training and support to help carers, parents and professionals working with families and children who have predominately experienced trauma in their early lives.

Our signature ‘Whole-setting training approaches’ involve:

  • Group in-person sessions for you and your whole team
  • One-to-one consultation sessions
  • Online Self-study courses via the Beyond Psychology Academy

Online self-paced workshops

The Beyond Psychology Academy is a series of online courses for self-paced study. Online courses include interactive videos & supplementary resources, delivered by Clinical Psychologists, Dr. Kirsty Hughes & Dr. Louise Mansell on topics such as Understanding Attachment theory and the impact of developmental trauma.

We have plans for individuals, and also corporate plans for groups and large organisations who want to manage access themselves.

The Beyond Psychology Academy includes:

  • Individual plan for parents, carers and small teams
  • Enterprise plans for large teams with self-managed access
  • 12 months access and clear per-seat pricing

Our surplus funds are reinvested in the local community

We are a not-for-profit enterprise and as such any surplus funds are reinvested into activities supporting the mental health of our local community of cared for young people. We work with a co-operative to find and support local initiatives.

Our funds aim to:

  • support the cared for young people
  • empower care workers
  • have a significant social impact

I have been extremely impressed with the way that Louise and Kirsty have dealt with delivering this emotive topic to an audience of over 180 staff. They read their audience well and were responsive enough to change the direction of the presentation when and if appropriate. The presentations have been a mixture of engaging activities.

The session was extremely interesting and something I will definitely use within my teaching. I found the people leading the course highly knowledgeable and they were able to link everything to a classroom environment. I feel more able to recognise signs of early trauma and identify which students would benefit from a change in approach. I have a greater understanding of why students react/behave in the way they do and how I could now react to the situation

“The best whole school INSET training we have ever had”. This was just one of many really positive comments from my staff after the Whole School Attachment training delivered by Louise and Kirsty from Beyond Psychology. “The delivery of the training was pitched just right and was really engaging and many of the staff after the first whole school session, stated that they were hooked
