Supervision:

Supervision to therapists in all healing professions is avaiable to help bring a clearer perspective,a wider dimension and greater depth to your work.

Our aim is to help develop therapists' confidence and both their personal and professional skills in client work whilst at the same time safeguarding good practice.
Supervision is an essential part of the therapeutic process; it helps the therapist to see the wood for the trees and identify ways in which they may be colluding in their client's material whilst also allowing the therapist to feel held and supported. This in turn provides a greater degree of clarity, holding and safety for the client further enabling their healing and unfoldment.



Personal Therapy: Personal therapy to students at a discounted rate.

Many courses at Diploma level, including the Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling have formal requirements for students to undertake some personal therapy as a client, in order to address personal issues and to gain experience of being in the client role. One way of using time before applying for a Diploma in Counselling is to have some personal therapy.
