Kelly Lane

Lead Tutor

With over 20 years of experience working in education and with children and young adults in the care system, I bring a grounded, trauma-informed approach to my work as a psychotherapist. For the past 7 years, I have supported individuals of all ages, with a particular focus on attachment, relationships, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), generational trauma, domestic abuse, and complex trauma. I am a qualified clinical supervisor and a creative therapist, drawing on my background in dance, art, music, and writing to support self-expression and emotional healing. I integrate movement, creative arts, and somatic practices to help clients process trauma in a way that feels safe, embodied, and empowering. As a Reiki Master, I believe deeply in the mind-body connection, and that movement is key to healing. My practice is guided by the belief that the body holds the answers to your healing, and I create compassionate, non-judgemental spaces where individuals can reconnect with themselves, transform pain into purpose, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

More information about the Level 5 Award

Trauma research, theory and practice is now underpinning the work we do as therapists and it is vital for counsellors to have an in depth understanding of trauma along with an experiential knowledge of somatics and body-mind theory which supports the bottom-up work to trauma recovery.

  • This Level 5 Award brings theory and cutting-edge trauma research and practice within the growing field of post-traumatic growth and somatic psychology. It will both deepen and broaden your work with clients supporting you to assess and work with a range of complex client presentations, working safely and effectively.

  • Within this course there will be more theory, particularly around complex trauma, skills practice, discussion and time with the group to support you to integrate somatic trauma practice into your client work.

  • The course will be validated by submitting two Learning Journals, which are reflective entries demonstrating engagement with the course content and personal / professional development; one Case Study or Written Assignment (4,000 to 5,000 word count), providing a structured reflection on clinical work that integrates course theories and learning outcomes; one Peer Feedback Form, completed during a practice session to offer structured feedback to a peer; and one Collaborative Group Work.
