What is Trauma-informed Coaching?
Trauma-Informed Coaching is a specialized coaching approach grounded in the ICF definition of coaching and expanded through a neurobiologically informed understanding of trauma, safety, and human development. It integrates principles from trauma psychology, nervous system regulation, and relational neuroscience to create a safe, attuned, and empowering space for clients. Coaches are trained to recognize the signs and impact of trauma, including developmental and relational trauma, while supporting clients in a way that honors agency, pacing, and choice—without pathologizing or stepping into clinical roles.
This modality emphasizes presence, compassion, and co-regulation as foundational tools for healing and growth. Practitioners work within a high-integrity ethical framework, aligning with the ICF Code of Ethics and the British Psychological Society (BPS) Ethical Framework. By focusing on resilience, self-awareness, and embodied transformation, Trauma-Informed Coaching supports sustainable change while reducing the risk of re-traumatization. Coaches are trained to maintain non-clinical boundaries, refer appropriately, and navigate sensitive processes with care, clarity, and professionalism.
Program Overview
This training is intentionally structured to support your growth as a trauma-informed coach, blending rigorous ICF-accredited education with practical, embodied learning. Whether you’re on the path to your PCC credential or seeking renewal, the program provides the depth, structure, and mentorship needed to confidently integrate trauma awareness into your coaching.

What our students say
Frequently asked questions
Is this an ICF-accredited program, and why does it matter?
Yes. This program is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the world’s leading organization for professional coaching.
ICF accreditation ensures the program meets internationally recognized standards for coach education. It also allows you to use the training toward an ICF credential, giving your coaching qualifications greater credibility and global recognition.
