Training for Mental Health Professionals.
Practical professional development for mental health practitioners seeking to develop their skills in Resource Therapy and trauma-informed, relational practice.
Resource Therapy Foundation Certificate
Why Resource Therapy?
Resource Therapy (RT) is a trauma-informed, parts-based psychotherapy model developed by Professor Gordon Emmerson. It understands personality as made up of distinct Resource States, each with their own feelings, memories, experiences and ways of coping.
Some parts protect, some carry distress, some hold strength and sometimes, different parts want very different things.
RT offers a clear framework for recognising which part is present, what it is carrying, and how to respond.
Using structured therapeutic Actions, RT supports clinicians to work directly with Resource States to support processing and develop more adaptive ways of responding.
RT can be used as a complete therapeutic model or integrated alongside approaches such as EMDR.
Structured enough to guide you. Flexible enough to remain authentically you.

What Participants Say:
“Resource Therapy gave me language and structure I had been missing. I finally felt clear about which part I was working with and why.”- participant feedback.
“Sessions feel more intentional. The structure of RT helps me slow things down when many parts are active. We work with one part at a time, and at a pace that feels safe enough for the client and their parts” - participant feedback.
“The training assists with comprehensive understanding of the parts interplay in the psyche and in turn, behaviour, self-beliefs and thoughts”- participant feedback.
“The Resource Therapy Foundation Certificate offers a useful way of doing parts work. I think it expands the mind and the repertoire and helps integrate many approaches I already use. It provides another useful tool to help people heal” - participant feedback.
