LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Charmian Johnson

In my journey as a Certified Trauma Informed Coach (and forming Charm Johnson Coaching), I've witnessed the profound, life-altering impact that comes from uncovering the hidden wounds of trauma (both obvious and less obvious trauma) and learning to regulate and understand the nervous system.

Having worked as a lawyer in global law firms for 27 years, in a fast-paced, demanding and pressurised corporate environment, I know all too well about stress, anxiety, imposter-syndrome and perfectionism (to name just a few!) often leading to an unhealthy work/life balance. However, after going through the coaching training (and wondering why I have never been taught this stuff before!) I understand why I am the way I am and how I can minimise those limiting self-beliefs, become more resilient, self-confident and thrive.

My mission is to spread this knowledge to individuals, teams and organisations, creating safer, more compassionate spaces where individuals and communities can heal and thrive.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I'm committed to bringing together trauma informed practices and positive psychology to make it accessible to all. As a Certified Trauma Informed Coach, I’ve completed the ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching Certification and am part of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, which is the fastest growing community of trauma informed professionals in the world.

This high-level certification has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions that prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of your team, your organisation and yourself.
