Resource Therapy training teaches clinicians how to work effectively with the client’s Resources, also known as ego states/states/ or parts. Parts work training can support your work with client trauma responses, internal conflict, dissociation, protective patterns, and positive resource activation in a structured, practical way. It gives therapists tools to move beyond insight alone and work directly with the internal dynamics that often keep clients stuck. When you train with me, will also learn adaptations that I have made to ensure Resource Therapy training is: ·       Trauma Informed ·       Neurodiversity Affirming ·       Evidence-informed ·       Acknowledges that integration with other therapy modalities is a focus for many clinicians, and offers follow up support after your training if this is an area of interest for you.  ·       Very comfortable for trainees, and designed to support integration and learning through a tailored educational environment  It is practical, experiential, and immediately applicable to client work

There are three levels of Resource Therapy training (advanced parts work). Foundation level training is generally suitable for qualified helping professionals such as: psychologists social workers counsellors psychotherapists EMDR therapists mental health nurses occupational therapists  doctors / psychiatrists other suitably trained health professionals My Foundation Level training is open to all of the above, plus anyone in a healing/ helping role who would like to learn about Parts and Parts work. This might also include significant members or Elders from cultural groups that benefit from receiving  support within their own community. If you would like to attend for personal development, I can provide a certificate of attendance, rather than professional accreditation.  I am currently offering my Clinical training to professionals who have experience in a mental health, psychotherapy or counselling setting. If you would like to discuss whether you would be eligible to attend Resource Therapy / Parts work training with me, please reach out via email admin@wolftherapies.com.au

Many clinicians begin with no formal parts work training. The model is taught step-by-step in a clear and accessible way. If you already have experience in parts work approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Schema Therapy,  Structural Dissociation, Ego State Therapy, or trauma modalities, Resource Therapy can also deepen and expand your clinical toolkit.  This is especially the case if you find the concepts excellent in other parts work modalities, but you are still getting stuck or unsure of where to go next, or finding it too slow and drawn out.

Level 1: The 2 Day Foundation training gets you up and running with parts work! For many clinicians, this is all they will need! The Foundation training is a pre-requisite to the full Clinical training program, and covers: Understanding the theory of Parts Work in RT Straightforward case formulation and a complete roadmap for treatment Several skills and protocols you can apply immediately, and plenty of live demonstrations and opportunities to practice during training Applying RT outside of the therapy context Level 2: If you are in a therapy or counselling role, or interested in moving into this work, you can advance to the Clinical program (a further 8 days) which equips you with the entire therapeutic modality. Each day is carefully designed to provide you theory, skills, techniques, and practice to address any client presentation you might encounter in the therapy room. Please see 'What will I learn in each level' for specific topics! Level 3: Advanced training is useful for those wishing to go on and become a trainer in Resource Therapy, or advanced practice. I am not currently offering the Advanced/ Train the Trainer program, but I can point you in the right direction if you are interested.

Level 1: The 2 Day Foundation training gets you up and running with parts work! For many clinicians, this is all they will need! The Foundation training is a pre-requisite to the full Clinical training program, and covers: Understanding the theory of Parts Work and the client’s inner Resources Straightforward case formulation and a roadmap for treatment Skills for Working directly with Parts, not talking about parts Techniques for accessing and working with specific parts safely Protocol for Resolving internal conflict Techniques for strengthening and harnessing the client’s internal Resources- parts they want to see more of!! Working with what you may know as ‘protective’ and ‘resistant parts’, through a Resource Therapy lens Skills you can apply immediately, and plenty of live demonstrations and opportunities to practice during training Level 2: If you choose, you can advance to the Clinical program (a further 8 days) which equips you with the entire therapeutic modality. The Clinical program specifically covers topics such as:  Addictions and reduction of non-addictive habit behaviour.  Depression Panic disorder and PTSD Couples counselling: Relationship issues Complicated Bereavement: Working with grief and loss, past loss and future loss Eating Disorders  Acute and chronic pain  Suicidal ideation Anger  Promoting Self Awareness and Knowledge of Strengths (self-esteem)   The training also covers advanced skills that will help the therapist better work with Resources: Helping Resources keep their purpose to help, but learn to accomplish that purpose in a way that is helpful to the client. Resource assessment: assessing the problem, not the person, to know which direction to take in therapy. Practice issues, getting clients, referrals. Supporting skills and ethical considerations. The value and practice of advanced listening. Learning to make sure the client’s central problem is the focus.   I also speak to working with dissociation, DID, burnout, neurodivergence, and other dynamic topics, with clinical examples.  Level 3: Advanced training is useful for those wishing to go on and become a trainer in Resource Therapy, or advanced practice. I am not currently offering the Advanced/ Train the Trainer program, but I can point you in the right direction if you are interested.

Fees vary depending on the training level, format, location, and whether the program is delivered online or in person.  My 2 Day online trainings start at $700. Face-to-face trainings take place at a luxury homestead style retreat on Victoria’s surf coast, so they are comfortable as well as great value. Accommodation can sometimes be included in the session fees. The in-person 2 Day Foundation starts at $850. I also offer the 8 Day Clinical follow-on training, starting at $2800. If you have completed your Foundation training with me in the past 12 months, you will receive a discount on your Clinical. If you wish to book a 10 day training package with me at once, you will also receive further discounts.  The great thing about Resource Therapy is you can run with many of the skills straight out of the Foundation training. You do not need to complete multiple levels of training before obtaining useful therapy tools.  Current pricing is available on request or via the training page.

The training itself: Developed in Australia Accredited trainings available in Australia online and in-person- access locally More affordable than many other modalities (and you don’t have to go through multiple levels before ‘the good stuff’) Open to a range of health and helping professions The Foundation level gives you tools to practice and use as soon as you finish the course, even if you’re not in a counselling role     Resource  Therapy as a parts work therapy: Backed by a personality theory specifically informing the therapy approach Designed as a direct and short-term approach (whilst you might work long-term when doing trauma work, you will support each Part in therapy to feel ‘healthy’ in the space of one session) Structured road map- no getting stuck 15 key treatment actions outlined and taught to apply to any specific client presentation   Critically, Resource Therapy centres on activating (‘Vivifying’) the part holding the problem, and working with that part to resolve its concerns. Most therapies talk ‘about’ parts from the perspective of other parts, or without adequately ‘waking up’ the current part.

Resource Therapy (advanced parts work) is designed to be a standalone model. After completing the full Clinical training program, you are equipped with a full therapeutic modality. However, most therapists are coming with experience of other (fantastic) therapeutic models, and are wanting something to enhance, deepen, or expand their current clinical repertoire.  Maybe you wish to strengthen interweave skills, develop language to explain Parts to clients, add a more psychodynamic approach to your practice, or you have a specific issue you’d like to have help with: Clients are getting stuck Even highly skilled therapists can encounter clients who understand their patterns intellectually but still feel stuck. Often this is because different internal parts hold conflicting needs, fears, trauma responses, or protective strategies. Other models don’t explicitly teach us how to work with the part holding trauma (and some teach us to work through the voice of other parts). Therapist is feeling stuck Sometimes other trainings have been good ‘conceptually’, but do not provide the theory to help you understand it deeply. Others lack the direction and framework to apply the therapy in practice, in response to any client issue.  There are also wonderful therapies out there that are non-directive, and the therapist ‘stays out of the way’, which is great… but what happens if your client needs more guidance to get the adaptive information flowing? Therapy is progressing slowly Therapists often come to me reporting that they like parts work, but it is a very slow process. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to go next, or if you’ve built enough understanding of parts.  This is where Resource Therapy shines- we support one State/ part, to release one problem, in just one session. Each session is based around one issue the client would like to resolve- something that shows up in everyday life. Through a process of bridging to an earlier experience, empowering the part to express and release the material, and then equipping an adult part to lead in the future, things shift quickly.  It doesn’t take much time for the client to start reporting that the issues that brought them to therapy are not showing up like they were. Processing is working okay, but something is missing Desensitisation has gone well, SUDS are low (if you use metrics!), the client is noticing some improvements, but something still feels… unhealed. The attachment wound remains.  Or perhaps there is a lot of blocked processing happening during sessions. Resource Therapy can add a missing layer by helping you work directly with the internal States, or Parts, in a way that you haven’t experienced before.  Working in this way greatly reducing blocking in my therapy room! And the client finally feels the sense of ‘repair’ too. Your modality feels a bit… blamey Some therapies and parts models are not identity or neuro-affirming, or can make it sound like parts (or their responses) are ‘bad’ or to be shamed. Resource Therapy is compassionate, empowering, and will truly harness the strengths of the existing parts of self.   Clients can respond so differently to different modalities- some find in-the-moment  tools and mindfulness helpful, others find they want something that addresses the past cause of their here-and-now responses. Rather than replacing your current training, Resource Therapy can strengthen it.

Potential benefits include: deeper work with stuck patterns clearer understanding of internal conflict more effective trauma interventions greater flexibility across client presentations stronger therapeutic precision practical tools you can use immediately improved outcomes for complex cases integration with existing modalities enhanced confidence as a clinician

Resource Therapy may be helpful across a wide range of presentations, depending on clinician competence and client suitability, including: trauma and complex trauma anxiety depression shame and self-criticism procrastination and avoidance perfectionism attachment difficulties emotional dysregulation dissociation identity conflict relationship patterns phobias grief behaviour change blocks It is not about forcing one model onto every client, but knowing when and how parts work can help!

Trainings may be eligible for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or professional learning hours, depending on your profession and registration body. Please check the current training details for CPD information and confirm requirements with your professional association if needed. My training is internationally recognised and accredited by Resource Therapy International

I am biased, of course! I am so passionate about Resource Therapy as an advanced parts work model. I used to be an EMDR therapist who ‘did a bit of parts’, but now I consider myself a Resource Therapist who leans on EMDR theory! Seriously, the “best” parts work training depends on your clinical background, learning style, client population, and whether you want a gentle introductory model or a highly practical trauma-focused approach. Many therapists explore trainings such as: Internal Family Systems (IFS) training Resource Therapy training Ego State Therapy training Schema Therapy (modes work) Attachment-focused parts approaches If you’re looking for practical tools you can use immediately in sessions, Resource Therapy can be a strong option because it offers structured interventions, direct access to parts, and strong integration potential with modalities such as EMDR.

Resource Therapy is best described as an evidence-informed parts-based therapy. While the modality itself has a developing research base, it has parallels with well-supported principles from trauma treatment, memory reconsolidation(updating old emotional learnings), state-dependent processing, the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model in EMDR (how unresolved experiences can become adaptively integrated), and the neurobiology of trauma, protective responses and internal parts states. Many clinicians value Resource Therapy because it offers practical ways to work with trauma-linked parts, internal conflict, emotional blocks, and stuck patterns in a manner that integrates well with other therapies such as EMDR therapy. As with any therapy, outcomes depend not only on the model, but on therapist skill, attunement, client readiness, and using the right approach for the right person.

I bring a unique blend of clinical depth, practical experience, and warm, engaging and accessible teaching. My background includes: Accredited Mental Health Social Worker; post graduate Developmental Trauma Trauma-informed therapy practice Advanced Clinical Resource Therapist and Trainer Yoga teacher EMDR accredited  Neurodivergent-affirming (and lived experience) Experience with complex presentations Ability to translate theory into practical clinical tools. I offer Resource Therapy (Advanced Parts Work) training with a focus on real-world clinical application, trauma-informed practice, neurodivergent-affirming teaching, and helping therapists feel confident using parts work ethically and effectively.

Ongoing consultation or supervision can help you build confidence, refine skills, troubleshoot cases, and integrate Resource Therapy into your existing therapeutic style. I currently offer monthly group consultation that is EMDR informed and parts work focussed. You do not need to have completed my training to attend. I also run a skills workshop of integrating EMDR with parts work, which clinicians find useful for building confidence and fluidity in this area.
