From January 2026, we are officially launching the HEROES Digital Programme- and alongside it, our first ever online HEROES Approach Practitioner (HAP) Training, so you can study, train and be coached with us from wherever you are in the world.
This marks a really important milestone in our mission to expand compassionate, trauma-informed support to more people, while ensuring our practitioners feel grounded, skilled, and deeply connected to the work.
Although this is our first online cohort, the HEROES Practitioner Training itself is well-established and has been delivered and honed over the past 3 years with outstanding success. We already have a growing network of HEROES Approach Practitioners delivering trauma-informed support across mainstream and private mental health services, and the results have been consistently powerful.
For those of you who follow our news, you may know that we’ve now expanded city-wide across our hometown of Leeds through the NHS. Taking the training online feels like the naturally grounded next step- allowing us to widen access, reach more people, and deepen the impact of this work on a much larger scale.

The HEROES Practitioner Training is a comprehensive and transformative journey into trauma-informed coaching, group facilitation, and nervous system support.
Over 17 weeks, you will move through a blend of live sessions, guided learning, and self-paced study- all designed to help you develop confidence, presence, and clarity in supporting others through profound emotional healing.
A core part of the process will also involve you completing the HEROES Digital Programme as a participant. This lived experience allows you to embody the principles of the work, and is essential for facilitating this approach with safety, integrity, and depth.
No previous qualification or experience is necessary.
What matters most is your willingness to learn, your compassion for others, and your commitment to your own personal growth. We guide you through everything step by step, ensuring you feel supported, confident, and prepared throughout the entire journey.
30 hours of live practitioner training sessions with Miranda, using our unique, HEROES framework
10.5 hours of live group coaching as part of the HEROES Programme, where you will learn how to use our accessible, original methods and tools for your own healing
10+ hours of self-paced video learning within our digital portal, plus access to our meditations and in-the-moment guided practices to use any time, any where
Full access to HEROES Practitioner tools, frameworks, and resources
Certification as a HEROES Approach Practitioner (HAP) upon completion
Access to our private online HEROES Graduates Community and HAP Community
Each element is intentionally designed to support your professional expertise and your personal growth, recognising that the two are inseparable in trauma-informed work.
Exact session dates will be confirmed later this month.
The programme will run January – May 2026, with all sessions delivered online.
(If a majority of participants are local to one another, optional in-person sessions may be possible.)
For this first online cohort, we are offering a special introductory rate of £1,350. (Or 3 x payments of £450)
This one-time reduced rate reflects our commitment to making the inaugural digital group more accessible as we gather feedback and refine the experience.
The full Practitioner Training investment will ordinarily be priced at £2,497.
If you work in the NHS, a charity, or the third sector, we are more than happy to speak with your manager about organisational funding.
We can provide an information pack or arrange a short consultation call to discuss how the HEROES Practitioner Training may benefit your team or service.
If you feel drawn to explore this further, we would love to hear a little about you.
Please email hello@heroesprogramme.com including a short reflection of no more than 250 words covering:
Your current role (if any)
How you hope to use your trauma-informed HEROES skills
What personal growth means to you at this stage of your life
This gentle application helps us ensure the training is a meaningful fit on both sides.
This new phase for HEROES feels deeply aligned with our wider intention: to support healing not just as a psychological process, but as a human and spiritual one- rooted in compassion, connection, validation, safety, mind-body awareness and the understanding that transformation and trust are possible for everyone.
If this resonates with you, I would sincerely be honoured to support you on this path…

You will be trained in a unique manner, to use a motivational coaching approach. All our practitioners go through an intensive training package in order to enable them to be able to practice presence with all our students, so that we do not create an identity for them out of their past pain. HEROES facilitators are trained to educate, coach and create a trauma-informed container conducive to healing.
As a HEROES facilitator, you will guide people to move forward with their lives, navigate change, build a positive relationship with themselves, and remember the truth of who they are, beyond their trauma or conditioning.
As part of the training, all facilitator training delegates also go through the programme in its entirety themselves, looking at their own healing and giving them the lived experience required to teach HEROES.
Our HEROES practitioners are coached to use the tools they teach. We can support you or your organisation to create a person-specification to recruit the correct staff, should you decide to roll out HEROES as a service.

Alongside the dramatic impact that the programme will have on the lives of your patients and clients, the HEROES groupwork programme has been proven to support organisations/service teams to address priorities such as:
Within our initial pilot of HEROES, 100% of patients’ PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire) scores had decreased by mid-way through the programme. 95% of these results were reduced even further by the end.
HEROES is not designed to be run by clinically trained staff, (although it can be if this fits with the needs of your organisation). Individuals commencing on their learning with us do NOT need any prior experience of running groups, or even working within mental health. Although a willing and interest in running groups, working as a coach and within mental health are clearly essential. We can support you to write a person specification should you require this for internal or external applications.
Patient Ambassadors, Social Prescribers, Community Connectors, Mental Health Support Workers, General Support Workers and Health and Wellbeing Coaches will be well placed to become facilitators.
