Trauma Therapy by Trish

Award winning Coventry-based Emotional Wellbeing & Educational Support Services for ages 4-104 years! Let's talk about baggage!

Working with schools, charities & individual private clients. Lifting Lives & Raising Results to improve long term life chances. We all carry around "stuff"; thoughts, opinions, memories & fears that have formed based on our past experiences. There are no rules about how quickly we should get over things. But if there is trauma that is continuously impacting on your daily life, then it is importan

t to seek help.

Emotional Trauma is not an event, it is how one unique individual reacts to and processes an event that may have been traumatic for them. Some are genetically better equipped to cope; others may have just experienced too much to be able to keep going any longer. Some may have underlying mental health or physical health conditions that impact on the ability to deal with some of these events causing them to re-live the events in their minds or live in fear of them, preventing them from enjoying their life in the here and now, or planning and dreaming of a brighter future. Left unresolved, this can negatively impact on long-term emotional wellbeing and be a contributory factor in more serious mental health conditions, it can damage relationships, and lead to dependency on others, substances or dangerous habits and activities. There is HOPE and there is SUPPORT available. Drawing and Talking is a 1-2-1 therapeutic intervention suitable for Children and Adults. It allows time and space to process and deal with trauma in a safe way. Drawing allows the deeper part of the brain to be involved, especially the right-hand side of the brain where powerful emotional memories are stored visually. This therapeutic intervention is offered in many schools but is also effective for adults experiencing the difficulties of un-processed trauma. (Panic attacks, sleep problems, flashbacks, lack of concentration, withdrawal, stomach problems, tension headaches etc)

Processed Trauma is Lighter to Carry - Lift your Life!

I have been working with Coventry Young Carers Services and later, Caring Together Young Carers Warwickshire (part of Carers Trust Heart of England ) since April 2024, as a Carer myself I feel really passionate about supporting them.

I recently received some amazing feedback from them about why our collaboration works...

They said:
"At Carers Trust Heart of England, we have continued to work with Trauma Therapy by Trish because her approach offers something genuinely valuable alongside our wider support for young carers and families. Many of the children and young people we work with are managing significant responsibilities at home, alongside anxiety, emotional pressure and, in some cases, the impact of trauma. Trish provides a safe, sensitive, and highly relational approach that helps individuals begin to process these experiences in a way that feels accessible and supportive."

They said a LOT more - I will be posting the rest over the coming months, but if you can't wait, you can read it in full, along with testimonies from other collaborative partners on my website... 🎈

As I mentioned yesterday, I recently asked some of the agencies I work with to provide some feedback...

I have delivered sessions through this particular holiday club provider consistently in Summer, Christmas & Easter Holidays, and it is an additional expense that is funded through the HAF programme. 🎈

They said:
"The workshop's delivered by Trish are fantastic! We have had Trish in to multiple of our holiday camp venues across Coventry and every session allows children to engage in the different activities that she caters for all ages and needs.

The children have the opportunity to express themselves and voice their thoughts and feelings. They thoroughly enjoy the sessions as it is something different and they get a lot out of it. We would 100% recommend Trish's workshops, we think they are great! "

So, if you are in the Holiday Club Business, if you claim funding through the HAF programme, please do get in touch to get a quote and check diary availability for Summer Holidays 2026!

Yes, I have been nominated for another award...
Yes, I nominated myself!

WHAT?!

I am a sole trader, a small business, a solopreneur - no huge advertising budget, no big corporate backers...

So, it is up to me to raise awareness, be visible and blow my own trumpet! 🎺

These style of awards are not about buying your way in, or ego, but they are a brilliant opportunity and encouragement to review your business, what is working, what isn't, look at the financial data, and help you set yourself targets.

The application takes time and effort. It is then judged by Successful, Experienced Business People.

I don't know whether I will be a finalist or not - but the process has been rewarding so far already, as it encouraged me to reach out to my strategic business partners for feedback... because I didn't really know if I could enter this category or not.

Their responses gave me no doubt, and the opportunity to share what they have said over the coming months! 🎈

PLUS, I can't call myself multi-award-winning if I don't keep trying! 😆

Here we are at the end of April... how did that happen?

So, it is time for my usual review of the month, in April I have;

🔸Completed a 12 week programme of Drawing & Talking with 9 children across 2 Coventry primary schools
🔸Continued to work with 5 further children in those schools
🔸Started a new 12 week programme with 3 more children
🔸Started a directed group programme (8 weeks) with a group of children in one school
🔸Continued supporting 3 adults in The Connection Cabin as they make their way towards session 12 (adults often have to postpone sessions due to life happening, so sometimes the 12 sessions can be quite drawn out, this is a flexibility that I pride myself on) 🎈
🔸Delivered 3 Emotions Discovery sessions as part of the Easter HAF programme, enabling around 45 children to access an emotional wellbeing activity
🔸Completed over 3 hours of CPD
🔸Networked at the Big Buzz regional event, and with two 1-2-1 sessions with fellow business owners
🔸Submitted my entry for a business award (more on that tomorrow)

Personally, the big thing this month has been starting my Charity Swim for Tiny Tim's Children's Centre - if you didn't know I am swimming 100,000 metres in a year to help them raise some much-needed funds! You can donate or follow my progress on the fundraising page - I will drop the link in the comments! (If I forget, just shout!) 🏊‍♀️

Did you know that Trauma Therapy by Trish has business values?

1. BEING KIND
Treating people with respect, understanding , fairness, empathy & compassion.
Finding a way to be inclusive & supportive to all (Autism, SEND & LGBTQ+ aware).

2. BEING THE BEST I CAN BE
Undertaking training wherever possible to improve my understanding of my clients needs and to be able to offer the best possible services for them.

Well, this week has been a week of training and continuous professional development...

On Monday, I completed the Review Your Practices course for Advanced Drawing & Talking Practitioners - certificate pictured.

This evening, I will be joining a group coaching call, also specifically for Advanced Practitioners.

In order to practice as a Drawing & Talking Practitioner I have to maintain my paid membership and complete a specified number of CPD hours each year.

These courses and coaching calls are great for problem solving, checking we are doing it right, and finding ways to upgrade our practice. 🎈

My final myth buster about stress for the month! 🎈

27/04/2026

It's true, even though a glass of wine or a few pints after a stressful week at work may feel as if it solves everything...

It is a temporary fix.

We need to tackle the cause of the stress.🎈

26/04/2026

The signs are not always easy to see!

So check in on people anyway, and listen to their response.🎈

25/04/2026

Some time ago, I upgraded my training, to become an Advanced Drawing & Talking Practitioner...

This means I can offer the Sand Play technique of D&T; the method is the same, but rather than draw, clients get to play with items in a sand tray, which becomes their Sand World. 🎈

Each week (instead of their drawn picture going in their folder) I take a polaroid photo of the sand world, it is kept safely in their envelope. After the 12th session, the client is handed their photos to take home.

Does this appeal to you?

Today I thought I would share a testimonial from one of my Block Therapy clients!

🎈

23/04/2026

Reminder: I also offer Block Therapy

Block Therapy is the same technique as LEGO Therapy, but without the branding.
I use both LEGO branded and non-branded kits.

This programme is available for groups of 3 children, and is ideal for siblings! 🎈
