At PIP Solutions, we are dedicated to providing high-quality training and support for child therapists, equipping them with specialist skills and knowledge to meet the needs of vulnerable young clients and their families.
Founded by Karen O’Neill and Tara McDonald, our training organization is built on solid foundations reflecting over two decades of working as psychotherapists and trainers in the field of psychological therapies.
As clinicians and trainers, our commitment to focus on relational trauma comes from a profound understanding of the pivotal role early relationships play in human development. We understand that children and young people recovering from complex relational trauma require enriched therapeutic care to help heal from inadequate or harmful past experiences. We also understand the impact on families.
While this work is complex, through a relational trauma lens, a skilled therapist can help buffer the impact of disrupted connections and harmful relational patterns. By incorporating intentional and relational therapeutic clinical practices into our work, young clients and their families begin to replace patterns of protection with patterns of connection
