A comprehensive approach to trauma therapy, recovery and healing. Helping you feel more grounded, more resourced and more able to respond when it matters most.
Written by therapists and trauma educators Elliot Davis, Sarah Briggs and Robert Rees, The Complete Trauma Therapy Toolkit is a clinically grounded guide to recognising trauma, planning treatment and supporting recovery.
It brings together contemporary trauma theory, clinical experience, real case material and practical resources you can use in the therapy room.
The book draws from psychological, relational, cognitive and somatic approaches while maintaining a clear relational focus. It is designed to sit alongside your existing practice, whether you work integratively, psychodynamically, person-centredly, cognitively, somatically or systemically.
It is suitable for experienced trauma specialists and for qualified practitioners who are finding trauma increasingly present in their caseload.

Alongside theory and clinical reflection, the book includes resources to return to, adapt thoughtfully and integrate into your existing way of working.
The Complete Trauma Therapy Toolkit is an unusually thoughtful and practical contribution to the field of trauma therapy. What makes this book stand out is its combination of clinical knowledge and humanity. It offers therapists not simply techniques, but a way of thinking about trauma that is compassionate, flexible and grounded in the realities of the therapy room. A valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding and practice of trauma-informed therapy.
Whether you specialise in trauma or want to feel better equipped for the trauma already present in your work, this is a resource you can return to throughout your practice.
The book grew from our work as therapists, supervisors and trauma educators.
Again and again, practitioners asked us how to recognise trauma when it is hidden beneath competence or shame, what to do when a client becomes overwhelmed or dissociates, and how to translate theory into something useful in the room.
We wrote this book to offer structure, companionship and practical help, not a script for every session, but a resource to help you feel steadier and clearer in complex moments.
Elliot is a director of The Grove and a UKCP and BACP-accredited psychotherapist and supervisor specialising in complex trauma. His work draws on Cognitive Processing Therapy, EMDR principles and integrative trauma approaches.
Sarah is a director of The Grove and an accredited trauma therapist. She co-created our trauma therapy course and brings extensive experience in trauma teaching and clinical practice to the book.
Robert is Chief Executive of The Grove and an accredited psychotherapist, supervisor and trauma specialist. He writes about body-based approaches, somatic regulation and post-traumatic growth.
Following the client journey through a tri-phasic model, the book explores the full arc of trauma therapy.
The phases are not presented as rigid steps. Instead, they provide a reliable and humane structure that can be adapted to the client, the relationship and the realities of clinical work.
The Complete Trauma Therapy Toolkit is the companion book to our Certificate and Diploma in Trauma Therapy.
Through live teaching, discussion, reflection and skills practice, learn how to assess trauma, create a structured treatment plan and work through stabilisation, processing and integration.
Designed for qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and related professionals, the training includes trauma-focused CBT, EFT, somatic approaches, intrusive imagery, dissociation, PTSD and Complex PTSD. It is available through online and in-person intakes
