Professional Training, Research & Service Consultation
Dr Jenna Brough
Perinatal Clinical Psychologist
I provide specialist perinatal psychology training, NHS and professional consultation, and research advisory services. I work with healthcare services, academic institutions, and professional teams to support trauma-informed care, service development, and workforce wellbeing.
Drawing on extensive NHS experience, academic expertise, and specialist clinical practice, and a deep understanding of how systems, culture, and policy shape perinatal experiences, I help organisations embed psychologically safe, compassionate, and sustainable systems.
Training & Education for Professionals and Services
I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed training for professionals working in perinatal, maternity, neonatal, primary care, mental health, and related services. Training is designed to support safe, compassionate, and sustainable care, aligned with current best practice in perinatal mental health and trauma-informed working.
Training can be commissioned in one of three ways, depending on service need, scale, and budget:
-
Online off-the-shelf courses – flexible and scalable, providing foundational knowledge
-
Live commissioned delivery – interactive sessions with Q&A, tailored to your service
-
Bespoke training – fully tailored to role, service, or team needs, including case-based learning and pathway-specific content
All formats balance clinical rigour with practical application, supporting both quality of care and staff wellbeing.
Training topics include:
-
Trauma-informed practice (adapted to role and context)
-
Perinatal mental health across pregnancy and the postnatal period
-
Perinatal trauma: prevention, identification, and treatment
-
Vicarious trauma, moral injury, and empathy fatigue (staff wellbeing)
-
Supporting pregnancy after infertility, loss, or trauma
-
Supporting postnatal wellbeing and early parenthood
Delivery formats include workshops, study days, online or in-person, reflective practice sessions, or modular programmes.

I provide expert consultation for service design, policy development, and workforce wellbeing within NHS and related services. I have particular expertise and experience supporting the development and reviews of services including pelvic health, early loss in gynaecology, rainbow clinics, birth debrief, perinatal psychological therapies, and perinatal trauma and loss support.
Services include:
-
Trauma-informed perinatal pathway design
-
Service evaluation and development
-
Policy consultation and evidence translation
-
Staff wellbeing strategies
All consultation integrates clinical expertise, academic rigour, and systems-level thinking, supporting practical, sustainable improvements.
Research & Academic Consultation
I advise on research projects, knowledge translation, and academic outputs related to perinatal mental health and trauma.
Services include:
-
Expert opinion on aims, feasibility, and utility of research
-
Translation of research findings into clinical or service applications
-
Field supervision for PhD and DClinPsy projects (with a strong background in shaping research questions, recruitment of participants, and dissemination).
This ensures research is ethically sound, clinically relevant, and actionable.
