Dr Haley Peckham’s background includes philosophy, mental health nursing, psychotherapy and neuroscience and is grounded in her own lived experience of recovering from complex trauma. Struck by the enduring impact of early trauma and neglect Haley studied Molecular Neuroscience at Bristol and gained her PhD from The University of Melbourne. Since realising that evolutionary biology and neuroscience are critically important for delivering coherent ACE aware and Trauma-Informed approaches Haley has shared her learning with professionals across statutory services in Australia and the UK. Haley continues to deliver her training alongside her ongoing work in frontline crisis mental health services which supports her personal and professional development.
