Birth Reflections Training
This year we are offering an updated Birth Reflections training programme of two half-day workshops.
“Thank you so much for the training! It has been so good to do and even better to know that trauma informed care is really being cemented and making birth better. We work with many clients who have suffered trauma at the time of giving birth and others who have retriggered earlier childhood trauma by experiencing pregnancy and birth for themselves. It is so good that medical and counselling professionals can work together like this to benefit all who experience pregnancy and birth.”
Birth Reflections Workshop 1
-
Live training on Tuesday 29th September, 9.30am–12.30pm over Zoom with Perinatal Psychiatrist Dr Rebecca Moore and Psychotherapist Natasha Williams.
This practical workshop explores how to create and run safe, effective Birth Reflections sessions for women, birthing people, and their partners.
Participants will examine the key components involved in setting up a Birth Reflections service, including:
Process design and preparation
Boundaries and appropriate documentation
What parents typically expect from a reflections session
How to prepare parents beforehand
How to hold compassionate, contained conversations that support processing and meaning-making
The session also includes tools for trauma-informed listening, managing emotional responses, and knowing when and how to signpost to additional support.
This training costs £179 (or 3 x payments of £60). If you wish to book onto both workshops we offer a bundle deal of £295 (or 3 x payments of £99). Please note this is a live training and no recordings will be provided.
Birth Reflections Workshop 2
-
Live training on Tuesday 1st December 2026, 9.30am-12.30pm over Zoom. With midwife and debrief expert Illiyin Morrison.
This workshop focuses on developing confident, supportive conversations around birth debriefs — whether formal or informal.
Midwives and other maternity HCPs will explore:
The purpose and limits of a birth debrief
How to validate experiences without re-traumatising
Balancing clinical accuracy with emotional sensitivity
Through real examples and guided practice, participants will learn how to structure helpful discussions, identify challenges, avoid common pitfalls, and offer clear next steps. The aim is to ensure every parent feels heard, understood, and safely supported.
This training costs £179 (or 3 x payments of £60). If you wish to book onto both workshops we offer a bundle deal of £295 (or 3 x payments of £99). Please note this is a live training and no recordings will be provided.
