CPD Training for Professionals and Services

    Cherry Blossom Training

    Two flagship CPD programmes for professionals and teams, designed to deepen formulation and support more confident practice.

    "Training that helps people name what they are seeing, understand what sits beneath it, and respond with greater presence in the room."

    CPD Programmes

    Two flagship programmes for reflective professional practice

    Cherry Blossom Training currently offers two named CPD programmes. Each one is grounded in therapeutic thinking, practical application, and the realities of work where trauma, shame, meaning, and relationship matter.

    Approved associate trainer

    Trauma Recovery Focus Model (TRFM)

    A four-stage CPD pathway for professionals and services who want a stronger trauma recovery framework, clearer understanding of trauma presentation, and more confident recovery-oriented practice.

    • Builds from foundational understanding into deeper stages with increasing depth across the pathway.
    • Supports professionals working with children, young people, families, and the wider systems around them.
    • Helps teams develop clearer trauma recovery language, stronger recognition of complex presentations, and more reflective practice.
    The Trauma Recovery Focus Model (TRFM) is trademarked by Betsy de Thierry. Sarah Musselwhite is an approved associate trainer.

    Full-day CPD

    Moral Injury

    A full-day certificated CPD programme for therapists and practitioners working with trauma, betrayal, identity, and the hidden wound that can sit beneath shame, withdrawal, and loss of meaning.

    • Built around formulation, not just diagnosis, so practitioners can name what their usual frameworks may miss.
    • Available as an in-house full day or blended delivery for teams, services, and professional groups.
    • Includes a dedicated programme page with the module overview, case-study themes, and therapeutic considerations.
    Recognising the wound beneath the symptoms, with practical language for what practitioners may feel in the room before they can name it.
    How Training Works

    Delivery that holds theory and practice together

    Both programmes are built to feel clinically informed, emotionally honest, and genuinely usable once people return to their day-to-day work.

    1

    Discovery and fit

    We begin by understanding your setting, the people attending, and whether TRFM or Moral Injury is the right fit for the work you want to support.

    2

    Programme planning

    The day is shaped around your audience so the material feels relevant, paced, and grounded in the level of experience people already hold.

    3

    Reflective delivery

    Sessions balance theory, formulation, and practical reflection so participants can think about real cases, real pressures, and what it means to be in the room.

    4

    Application and next steps

    Training closes with reflection, discussion, and practical next steps so the learning can be carried back into teams, services, and everyday conversations.

    Delivery Snapshot

    Designed for real teams and real contexts

    The delivery model can be shaped around your participants, the pressures of your setting, and the kinds of conversations that need more confidence, clarity, and therapeutic understanding.

    Full-day CPD

    Both flagship offers are positioned as meaningful continuing professional development rather than lightweight awareness sessions.

    In-house or blended

    Delivery can be arranged in ways that fit services, organisations, and mixed professional groups.

    Experiential elements

    Reflective exercises and discussion help people apply the material safely rather than only hearing it in theory.

    Enquiry-led planning

    Each training conversation starts with the context, pressures, and participants you are holding in mind.

    Who It's For

    Built for professionals, teams, and services

    These programmes are for people who need better language for trauma, moral pain, relationship, behaviour, and reflective practice in demanding settings.

    Therapists
    Counsellors
    Schools
    Social Care
    Healthcare
    Support Services

    What participants gain

    Clearer formulation, stronger relational awareness, and more confidence holding shame, uncertainty, behaviour, and emotional complexity without reaching too quickly for labels.

    Grounded in practice

    Training is informed by experts in psychotherapy, counselling, trauma recovery, neuroscience, attachment, and child development, helping people build understanding that is both clinically informed and practical in real-world settings.

    Shared professional language

    Participants leave with language that helps teams think together about what sits beneath presentations and responses.

    Relational confidence

    The training supports greater presence in conversations that carry shame, betrayal, grief, uncertainty, and moral pain.

    Therapeutic formulation

    Both programmes support deeper formulation so people can move beyond surface description and think more carefully about meaning.

    Useful reflection

    The material is designed to be taken back into practice, supervision, and ongoing conversations within services.
