Beyond Psychology
Online Workshops for parents of adopted children, foster carers, and professionals.
A message from Dr Kirsty Hughes
Beyond Psychology ceased trading on 28th March 2024. But our online resources remain available.
After 7 incredible years, the time has come for me and my team to move on to pastures new. What a journey we have been on! We’ve seen our small team impact the lives of individual young people and those travelling alongside them. The cared for children community within Rochdale inspired us to develop the way that we did and we kept them in our hearts as we grew within Rochdale and beyond.
We will all continue to celebrate what has been achieved in that time. Beyond Psychology will be leaving a legacy through accessible therapeutic support, training and consultation, which has helped many individuals, families and organisations embed trauma informed understanding and practice. I would personally like to extend my thanks to those who have supported our journey and made Beyond Psychology the success that it has been.
Workshops
Pre-recorded workshops and related resources are available on this website. These are particularly for those working alongside children and young people who have experienced early life trauma to help support understanding of the impact on development and consider how best to support healing.
We have developed a series of workshops and training courses using a research and evidence based approach conducted by Clinical Psychologists. We bring our experience and expertise to adoptive parents, carers, and teams of all sizes who work with children and families.
Online self-paced workshops
The Beyond Psychology Academy is a series of online courses for self-paced study. Online courses include interactive videos & supplementary resources, delivered by Clinical Psychologists, Dr. Kirsty Hughes & Dr. Louise Mansell on topics such as Understanding Attachment theory and the impact of developmental trauma.
We have plans for individuals, and also corporate plans for groups and large organisations who want to manage access themselves.
The Beyond Psychology Academy includes:
Our income is reinvested in the local community
Now that Beyond Psychology has closed, money generated through people accessing the resources will be donated to the Alex Timpson Trust who help fund many projects for care experienced people and foster carers.
