Transform Trauma Oxford 2026
Join me at Transform Trauma Oxford 2026 is one of the world’s largest conferences dedicated to trauma, mental health and wellbeing, bringing together more than 4,000 participants from around the world in venues across the city of Oxford from 14–17 September 2026. Get tickets here!
I’ll be on a panel called ‘Which Modality when? Discernment in Trauma Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit‘ The conversation explores how practitioners track nervous system cues, relational safety, parts dynamics, identity and agency, and embodied signals to guide moment-to-moment clinical decisions. Particular attention is given to sequencing and pacing, when stabilisation, relational and developmental work, parts-based approaches, movement-informed integration, or memory processing may be most appropriate, especially in complex and developmental trauma.
Rather than asking “which modality is best?”, this session offers a grounded clinical map for working multi-modally with coherence, humility, and responsiveness, honouring evidence-based practice alongside the deeper, often ineffable, dimensions of healing.
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate the core clinical mechanisms and therapeutic aims of polyvagal-informed and movement-based approaches, NARM, IFS, EMDR-informed practice, and CST (Craniosacral Therapy) in the treatment of trauma.
- Assess nervous system cues, relational safety, parts dynamics, and embodied signals to determine appropriate modality selection, sequencing, and pacing in complex and developmental trauma.
- Formulate a coherent, multi-modal treatment plan that integrates stabilisation, developmental and relational repair, parts-based work, movement-informed integration, and memory processing in alignment with client presentation and clinical context.
