Training for professionals and organisations

Verbatim launched its training project in January 2019. Verbatim is an established provider of therapeutic services, alternative provision and consultancy, based in North Norfolk.

All of our trainers have high level qualifications in their specific sectors which include forensic psychotherapy, clinical psychology, art psychotherapies, and integrative psychotherapy. We have vast experience of working with adults, children and families, and organisations. This means that trainees attending our courses will have the most up to date evidence based learning there is to offer at every level, beginning with some exciting day workshops.

Course delegate numbers are kept to a maximum of around 15-20 to ensure that experiential learning is available to everyone, where they will feel comfortable enough to join in group discussions and debates, which we fully support.

Courses can be adapted for individual and or team needs. We can host training here at Verbatim, or we can come to you!

Please contact us to discuss.

  • I am now going into the new school year with an increased awareness of the importance of children’s attachment styles and strategies, and the fact that children ‘act out’ when they are with a trusted adult. Practically, I will look to introduce time for circle time type activities and ‘bubble time’.

    Participant, Training

  • This training has been a reminder that all behaviour is a child’s way of communicating.

    Participant, Training

  • Not to make assumptions about any child’s experience of lockdown and COVID. I really liked the advice about how to regulate and ground children again.

    Participant, Training

  • Jim and Ellen were really friendly and welcoming and delivered the training perfectly. Sharing stories of their experiences brought a tear to my eye. They do such amazing work and would love to work with them again!

    Participant, Training

  • The environment is perfect for focus and contemplation and they continue to amaze me with the ideas and activities that centre around such positive experience.

    Participant, Training

  • It will help me to take a moment to step back and understand that a child is not always choosing to be difficult, but that it is much deeper than that and their perception of the world may be incredibly different to mine. It was also incredibly useful to think of strategies to use that can help children calm and explain their feeling whether this is verbally or physically.
