Our course programme offers professional psychotherapy and counselling and training both for those starting in those professions, and for experienced counsellors and psychotherapists wishing to ensure their continuing professional development. Please note that we have psychotherapy and counselling courses currently running, however, we are no longer recruiting new students for these courses. We continue to offer a vibrant programme of CPD workshops and short courses. Please see the links below.
