Training & Development

 

 

See children differently.
Respond with greater clarity.

​

The Archetype Approach offers training for practitioners, teams and organisations who want to move beyond simply managing behaviour and towards understanding what children may be showing us.

​

From introductory behaviour training to specialist practitioner development, choose the pathway that fits where you are now.

​

​

​

Where should I start?

​

You do not need to learn everything at once.

Some people arrive because behaviour in their setting feels difficult.

Others are ready to learn the full Archetype Approach.

Some already understand the foundations and want to specialise.

Start with the question that sounds most like you.

Beyond Behaviour Management​

​

We need a different way to think about behaviour.

A practical training for practitioners and teams who want to move beyond rewards, sanctions and reactive behaviour management.

Begin with behaviour as communication and explore what changes when we ask what sits beneath it.

AA Practitioner Training

​

Learn the Archetype Approach from the foundations upwards.

The formal practitioner pathway introduces the twelve archetypes, observation, balance and reflective practice before moving into deeper application.

Choose Level One, Level Two or the complete pathway.

Storytelling

​

Stories give children language for things they cannot always explain.

Explore traditional tales, archetypes and symbolism, and discover how story can support imagination, emotional development and meaning-making.

Six Axes of Balance

​

Recognising the pattern is only the beginning.

Learn how the twelve archetypes relate through six balancing relationships and how the balancing opposite can widen what is available to a child.

Need something more specific?

​

Not every setting needs a ready-made training package.

If you are working through a particular challenge, introducing the approach across an organisation, planning professional development or looking for something tailored to your team, we can shape the work around your context.

​

​

Reflective. Practical. Grounded in real children.

​​​

Archetype Approach training is not about memorising twelve types.

We work with observation, real situations, case studies and reflection.

The aim is to help practitioners become more curious and more precise — noticing what is actually happening before deciding what it means.

You leave with ideas you can carry back into the room, not simply notes from a presentation.

Not sure where to begin?

​

If you are new to the Archetype Approach, start with the training that best matches the question bringing you here.

Or get in touch and we can help you find the right starting point.
