You help others heal - now it’s time to deepen your own capacity to transform.

If you’re a therapist, counsellor, coach, or clinician, you already know: trauma doesn’t just live in the mind.
It shows up in the body, the breath, the silence between words. You’ve studied the theories, logged the CPD hours, and still - some sessions feel stuck.
Your clients hit invisible walls. You carry their stories home, wondering if you’re doing enough.

The truth? It’s not your skill that’s missing.
It’s that most trauma trainings teach you about trauma, but not how to work through it - in your clients or yourself.

Imagine walking into sessions grounded and calm - no matter how heavy the story.

Imagine knowing exactly how to help a client move from freeze to flow, from survival to regulation - and watching their nervous system respond in real time.

Imagine ending your week feeling fulfilled instead of drained, confident that you’re creating lasting impact.

That’s what The Voyage® Deep Dive delivers - a 12-month, live, high-touch certification created by trauma specialist Lou Lebentz.

You’ll integrate neuroscience, somatic practice, and soul-based understanding into one embodied framework - helping you do your deepest, most ethical, and most rewarding work yet.

Without adding more hours to your week or carrying your clients’ pain home with you.

Trauma Aware Coach 

 "There's no expectation to understand something straight away. We talk about it, we discuss it, we revisit it, we practice it, and that is a huge bonus on the deep dive is the weekly Zooms with your fellow Voyagers where you get to practice, where you get to make mistakes, where you get to just see how things work or don't work"

The Voyage® is delivered to you by:

Lead Facilitator and Creator - Lou Lebentz

Lou Lebentz is an award-winning psychotherapist, trauma and addiction clinician, and international speaker and trainer. A champion of transformative mental healthcare, Lou is also the founder of the revolutionary trauma training methodology, The Voyage®. 

With over 25 years’ experience in supporting fellow trauma sufferers on the path to recovery, Lou’s diverse and somewhat unconventional career path makes for a fascinating tale of disparate industries and a series of life-changing experiences that warrant a biopic or at the very least, an autobiography. 

Never one to stay in the shallows, Lou began her clinical career as a therapist at the legendary Priory Hospital in London, where she honed her craft for over a decade before moving into private practice on Harley Street. For the next 10 years, she continued her mission as a pioneer of and campaigner for, trauma-informed care boasting a long list of celebrity clients, having earned the trust and respect of the creative community. 

Deep expertise forged through an array of the most cutting-edge and effective treatment modalities available, which she blends with soul wisdom rooted in both Eastern and Western philosophies and methods, gives rise to a holistic and compassionate healing journey to wellness for all who come into her orbit.

A sought-after inspirational speaker in the field of performance, mental health and wellness, Lou has spoken all over the globe from schools to corporations before finally, achieving the accolade of being invited to give a TEDx talk.

The Voyage® is more than a training - it’s a complete roadmap for trauma-informed transformation.

Every healing journey needs direction. Without structure, even the most skilled practitioners can feel lost - unsure where to start, how deep to go, or when it’s safe to move forward.

The Voyage® gives you a clear, trauma-sensitive framework that mirrors the natural rhythm of recovery  from awareness to embodiment, connection to mastery.

Rooted in Lou Lebentz’s decades of experience as a trauma specialist, this 12-month programme integrates mind, body, and soul through a carefully phased process that ensures both safety and depth.

That’s why The Voyage® follows a step-by-step, phased approach designed to:

  • Prevent re-traumatisation through safe pacing and nervous system regulation.

  • Blend scientific understanding with somatic and soulful practice.

  • Help you absorb, integrate, and embody the material at a pace that feels safe, steady, and transformative.

This is where The Voyage® stands apart from traditional trauma trainings - it doesn’t just teach information; it guides you through transformation.
It’s a living framework that you’ll carry into every client session, and every moment of your own life.

PHASE 1: Information - Expand The Mind

(Land in the Sand) 

Understand trauma on a whole new level - in your clients and in yourself.

Most practitioners know what trauma is, but not how it actually lives and breathes inside the body.
The Voyage® begins by grounding you in the science, psychology, and lived experience of trauma - so you stop guessing and start seeing clearly.

By the end of this phase, you’ll be able to read the signs, language, and rhythm of trauma with confidence - and finally understand how to guide clients safely through the healing process.

By the end of Phase 1...

You’ll no longer just understand trauma - you’ll see it everywhere with new clarity.
You’ll feel confident educating clients about what’s happening in their minds and bodies, helping them find language for experiences they could never name before.

You’ll know how to self-soothe in moments of overwhelm, expand your own nervous system’s capacity, and guide clients toward regulation with calm authority.

This phase lays the foundation for everything that follows - giving you the clarity, confidence, and safety to hold deeper healing spaces without feeling drained or uncertain.
It’s where you begin to embody the trauma-informed practitioner you’ve always wanted to be.

PHASE 2: Integration - Befriend The Body

(Swim in the Sea) 

Transform knowledge into embodiment - and learn to feel safe inside your own body again.

As a coach, counsellor or health practitioner working with trauma, you may find it challenging to know how to work with some of the presentations you see. You have two options: refer them on to someone else or potentially cause re-traumatisation. So in this module, you will learn how to bring the mind into the body, (body-mind) and develop practices to Integrate wisdom and knowledge into the somatic system.

By the end of Phase 2...

You’ll no longer fear emotional intensity or physical activation - you’ll trust it.
You’ll know how to bring safety into the body, regulate the nervous system in real time, and guide others through somatic healing with confidence and care.

Your presence will become your most powerful tool - calm, compassionate, and deeply embodied.

PHASE 3: Inspiration - Touch The Soul

(Soar in the Sky) 

Reconnect to your purpose, your peers, and the deeper meaning behind the work you do.

Being a trauma-informed practitioner is powerful - but it can also be profoundly isolating.
Holding space for others, week after week, can feel heavy when you don’t have the same level of care and containment for yourself.

Many therapists and coaches silently carry the weight of their clients’ stories, often without enough support, supervision, or community. Over time, that loneliness can dull your spark, drain your energy, and even make you question your path.

This phase is where you remember why you started.
You’ll reconnect to inspiration, soul, and the collective energy that helps you keep your heart open and your practice sustainable.

By the end of Phase 3...

You’ll feel reconnected, re-inspired, and fully aligned with why you do this work.
Your mind will be clear, your heart open, and your energy renewed - brimming with ideas, insights, and creative flow.

You’ll believe in your own abilities on a whole new level, anchored in self-trust and embodied confidence.
Your capacity to regulate your nervous system will expand, allowing you to move through sessions - and through life - with more freedom, ease, and grace.

You’ll no longer question your place in this work.
You’ll feel it - in your body, your purpose, and your presence - ready to expand your practice, your impact, and your potential beyond anything you imagined.

 

From overwhelmed practitioner to embodied trauma expert - confident, grounded, and thriving in your practice. 

This isn’t just about learning trauma theory. It’s about rewiring how you think, feel, and work - so you can hold others’ trauma without losing yourself in the process.

Right now, you might:

  • Feel unsure how to help clients when trauma shows up unexpectedly.

  • Know a lot in theory, but freeze when it gets intense in session.

  • Sense your clients’ pain in your own body - and carry it long after they leave.

  • Crave deeper impact, but fear you’ll “do it wrong” or overstep your limits.

After The Voyage® Deep Dive, you’ll:

  • Feel calm, clear, and capable no matter what your clients bring to the room.

  • Integrate body, mind, and soul techniques with confidence and flow.

  • Guide clients safely through breakthroughs without re-traumatising them.

  • Feel deeply fulfilled knowing you’re practicing ethically, effectively, and with integrity.

By the end of this 12-month journey, you’ll have:

✅ Confidence - to handle complex trauma cases safely and skillfully.
✅ Clarity - about your client process and professional boundaries.
✅ Integration - a nervous system that stays steady and grounded.
✅ Authority - an accredited, trauma-informed qualification backed by 80 CPD hours.
✅ Fulfillment - a deeper sense of purpose, aligned with your soul’s work.
✅ Growth - expanded client base, higher-value offers, and steady referrals.

Most trauma trainings teach information. The Voyage® changes identity.
It’s designed to stretch and expand your nervous system’s capacity so you can embody what you teach - not just repeat it. You’ll practice, reflect, and receive real-time supervision that integrates knowledge into lived experience. That’s what makes transformation stick.

This is more than professional development. It’s personal evolution - and it’s waiting for you.

 

The Voyage is unlike any other training I’ve encountered; it truly is a journey that teaches from the inside out. This course goes beyond presenting theories, modalities, and processes—it compels you to be deeply self-reflective. It’s through this internal experience and the shared reflections of your fellow voyagers that the most profound learning takes place.

Wave by wave, the course presents an order that is fluid yet comprehensive, guiding you to consider the mind, body, and spirit in an all-encompassing exploration of self. The Voyage seamlessly weaves together the theory behind limiting beliefs, healing, and much more, starting with the foundations of trauma-informed theory and progressing into advanced practices. The Voyage is life-changing.

Paul Sines - Trainee Clinician

Who is this training NOT for?

The Voyage® Deep Dive isn’t for everyone - and that’s intentional.
This work requires openness, honesty, and a willingness to grow on every level: mind, body, and soul.

It’s not for you if:
🚫 You’re seeking a purely academic or theoretical approach. This programme goes far beyond knowledge - it’s a deeply experiential process that asks you to feel, reflect, and integrate.

🚫 You want to keep your personal healing separate from your professional development. In trauma work, the two are inseparable. You can’t safely guide clients where you haven’t gone yourself - and The Voyage® honours that truth.

🚫 You’re looking for a quick certification or fast-track to being “trauma-informed.” True trauma mastery takes time, practice, and nervous system expansion. It’s not something to rush - it’s something to become.

If you’re ready for real depth, safety, and transformation - this programme will meet you there.

The knowledge, skills, tools and insights I have gained has been greatly beneficial not just to my clients but to myself in my process.

Having only had one brief encounter with Lou, I didn’t know what to expect from The Voyage but something in me was drawn to it, and to her, from that fleeting meeting. I am in the final stages of completing my Psychotherapy MSc and this training has given that learning both a practical and profound depth.

It is hard to put words to the very personal experience that each one of us on the course appears to be having - but it is a shared experience and not one that necessarily happens easily on zoom.

Lou has created easily digested theoretical content for working with trauma and then brings us together to practice in a supportive and collaborative weekly group.

It has surpassed all my expectations and I can’t recommend it enough.

The Voyage has been life changing . My approach to client work has significantly changed and deepened, incorporating much more work with and knowledge of the body and self regulation and how the effects of trauma remain in the mind and body and how they can be released in a safe way . I feel to be trauma informed in today’s society is a necessity and that the Voyage provided much needed learning and growth in this area.

Auriol Burgess - Counsellor

The Voyage Deep Dive has given me tangible tools to work with my trauma clients while coaching in the recovery industry. The program takes us through a specific road map to untangle with our clients.

On a personal level The Voyage provided safety and self insight that I had not found anywhere us thus far.
