Training & Talks
I have been teaching adults for over thirty years, firstly in personal development, and later in counselling and psychotherapy. I have been a Primary Tutor, Academic Consultant and examiner at Metanoia Institute, and present workshops in the private, voluntary and statutory sectors, as well as for psychotherapy conferences in the UK and internationally.
Many of my workshops are held online, though I do sometimes travel (avoiding air travel if possible) to present face-to-face. My style is a mixture of didactic, experiential and reflective, and I use case discussion and demonstration as part of my work.
I teach in English, and am used to working with a translator. I offer a range of workshops, and enjoy being able to pass on some of my specialist interests in trauma, the body, neuroscience and relational connection.
Examples of my workshops
- Since 2015 I have been Course Leader for a Certificate and Diploma in Contemporary Trauma Practice for Relational Change

I have presented at national and international conferences, including as an invited keynote speaker at the PACFA conference in Sydney in 2019 and did a plenary presentation at the AAGT conference in Toronto in 2018. I teach on the HCC Italy supervision training programme, and co-presented an international Masterclass for them with Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb in Milan in 2023. I present online workshops and seminars regularly for nscience.
Workshop testimonials
- "It is rare to find training of this calibre in our field."
- "One of the things that stood out for me was Miriam's embodied practice and her congruence with her own work in herself, in her presence, in her very, very finely tuned embodied presence and the importance of that in her work with people who are traumatised, in addition to how it also supports her to her sustain herself.' Kath McCarthy, GANZ Review 2016 Vol 13.no1"
- "Together, Miriam and the group created something that was bigger than the content of the workshop"
- "Miriam was an exceptional presenter - great content and pacing!"
- "An excellent training in terms of content, presentation and practical ways of working."
