LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Angela Thompson

Your Certified Somatic Trauma Informed Coach & Positive Psychology Practitioner

In my journey over the years to be a Somatic Trauma Informed Coach, I've personally experienced the profound, life-altering impact of unprocessed trauma in the body and also the transformation that comes from uncovering the hidden wounds of trauma and learning to regulate and understand the nervous system.

I had trauma in my life without even realising it and as a result lived with anxiety, depression and physical illness for many years. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2017 and didn't even connect this to unprocessed trauma! I am now happy to say that because of my own inner healing and somatic work that this is now minimal!

Through finding Somatic work I now truly understand myself in relation to my trauma and how my nervous system works and I have experienced transformational healing and post traumatic growth.

My mission is to spread this knowledge and help as many people as I can whether that be with my 1-2-1 coaching sessions or by delivering workshops to schools and workplaces. I know the power of this work and hope to create psychologically safe spaces for my clients and help to create spaces in schools and workplaces where individuals and communities can heal and thrive.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I'm committed to bringing together trauma informed practices, positive psychology and IFS to make it accessible to all. As a Certified Somatic Trauma Informed Coach through The Mental Wellbeing Company, I’ve completed the ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching Certification and am proud to be part of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, which is the fastest growing community of trauma informed professionals in the world.

This high-level certification has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions that prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of your team, your students and yourself.
