Clinical Pathway
Trauma-informed training for therapists, counsellors, and clinicians.

You have done the years of training. You hold your accreditation. You sit in the consulting room week after week, doing the work. And somewhere along the way, you may have begun to notice the limits of what many original trainings prepared us for - particularly when trauma is in the room, which is most of the time.

The Clinical Pathway is built for practitioners wanting to deepen, extend, and integrate the work they already do - through nervous system literacy, the Voyage® 12 Waves, trauma-informed practice, and frameworks designed to hold complexity without reducing people to symptoms, diagnoses, or presentations.

Who this pathway is for

The Clinical Pathway is designed for qualified, registered, or accredited practitioners working in:

•  Psychotherapy and counselling
•  Clinical psychology
•  Coaching with a therapeutic remit
•  Psychiatric and mental health nursing
•  Addiction and recovery work
•  Eating disorder treatment
•  Trauma-specialised practice
•  Allied health and complementary therapies
•  Supervisory, leadership, and training roles

If you are not yet qualified but work closely with people in professional settings, the Professional Training pathway may be a better fit.

01
The Voyage® Essentials

Trauma-informed foundations for clinicians and therapists.

Inside, you will find:

• What trauma actually is - and what it is not
• The five survival responses in clinical settings
• How trauma shapes behaviour, relationships, coping, and communication
• Nervous system awareness in the consulting room
• A trauma-informed lens to strengthen and deepen your existing modality

02
Trauma and Addiction Masterclass

The nervous system relationship between trauma and addictive behaviour.

A CPD-accredited deep dive into the connection between unresolved trauma, survival adaptation, and addiction - exploring what changes in practice when we look beyond the substance and begin working with the nervous system underneath it.

Inside, you will find:

• The neurobiology linking trauma and addiction
• Why shame and willpower-based approaches often fail
• Addiction as adaptation rather than pathology

Inside, you will find:

• The Little Me, Middle Me, Adult Me framework and how to apply it in practice
• Understanding protective parts, wounded parts, and adaptive survival strategies
• Working with parts in trauma, addiction, shame, and relational rupture
• Supporting clients to move safely between dysregulation, protection, and integration
• Practical interventions, reflections, and clinical applications for session work

04
The Nervous System Masterclass

Polyvagal theory and the five survival responses applied to therapy.

A CPD-accredited masterclass translating polyvagal theory into real-world therapeutic practice - exploring fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and flop through the lens of what clinicians actually encounter in the consulting room.

Inside, you will find:

•  The polyvagal hierarchy explained in accessible clinical language
•  Recognising fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and flop in real time
•  Co-regulation as a therapeutic and relational intervention
•  Understanding cues of safety, danger, and nervous system activation
•  Body-based approaches for supporting regulation and state change safely

05
TAPT Clinical - Trauma-Aware Professional Training

The two-and-a-half-day deepening for clinicians.

For therapists, counsellors, and practitioners ready to deepen their trauma-informed practice across complex presentations, relational dynamics, and nervous system-led work.

06
The Deep Dive - Spring 2027

The advanced year-long trauma-informed practitioner programme.

Inside, you will find:

• The full Voyage® 12 Waves framework
• Land, Sea, and Sky as phases of healing, growth, and integration
• Advanced trauma-informed practice across complex clinical presentations
• Nervous system-led approaches to attachment, parts, regulation, and relational repair
• Deep relational learning within a carefully held practitioner cohort
• A potential pathway into a Voyage® facilitator role and trainer development

CPD Accreditation

All Clinical Pathway programmes are CPD-accredited through the CPD Standards Office.

Training hours may contribute toward ongoing CPD requirements of BACP, UKCP, BPS, HCPC, NMC, and other professional or regulatory bodies that require CPD evidence.

The Voyage® Academy is not directly accredited by BACP, UKCP, BPS, HCPC, or NMC. However, CPD hours gained through our programmes are widely accepted toward continuing professional development requirements.

What Clinicians Often Say

Clinicians moving through this pathway often describe a particular shift - one that can be difficult to name until it is experienced directly.

The work becomes steadier. Sessions hold more without becoming heavier. Complexity arrives, and there is somewhere for it to land. Practitioners often describe feeling more regulated, more spacious, and more able to stay present with what clients bring into the room.

This is the work the pathway is designed to support.
