Counselling Pastoral Trust – Just another WordPress site

The next ‘Learning to Live, Learning to Love’ courses are to be in Fulham, the womens’ from 5th – 26th March.

Our aim is that you can identify and change unhelpful and potentially destructive patterns of behaviour and develop healthier ways of relating.

The current tide of individualism can prevent people connecting with one another; dealing with resentment and hopelessness is impossible if one is not aware of core unmet needs that lie beneath.

Emphasis is placed upon understanding the roots of behaviour that cause pain and difficulty in relationships.

Testimonials for Advanced Diploma in Counselling Practice (April 2023)

"I have found my training very useful. It has given me the tools to move forward into practising as a therapist full time (which was always my goal). I found that the different models that make up the course, provided me with a good base to see a variety of clients. It has also enabled me to look inward at the aspects of my own life that might possibly stand in the way of building a trustworthy rapport with my clients. It always takes time to learn when to use specific interventions but going through this training has left me with the confidence that I have the tools to help the client meet the goals they set out at the start of the contract and for them to be able to complete knowing that they themselves have learnt the tools to move forward feeling more empowered."

Testimonials for Advanced Diploma In Counselling Practice (April 2023)

"My experience of the Advanced Diploma in Counselling Practice course has been fulfilling on many levels: As a non- English native speaker the quality and clarity of the teaching is brilliant, both in person and in Zoom, and every CPT Team member is very experienced, human, and accessible. I have found that the structure of the course is excellent and the modules present very clearly the different theoretical models in psychotherapy. There was a fine balance between theory and experiential components in the course with a fluid management of group dynamics that allowed for everyone to contribute to group discussions. To put it into a few words: I am very grateful that I found this Course!"

Testimonials for Advanced Diploma in Counselling Practice (April 2023)

"CPT’s Advanced Diploma in Counselling Practice goes way beyond simply imparting relevant knowledge - it equips students to become truly therapeutic in their practice, understanding what will effect change in a client; compassion, warmth and empathy are hallmarks of the trainers. Highly recommended.

Testimonials for Advanced Diploma in Counselling Practice (April 2023)

"Doing the Advanced Diploma in Counselling Practice course helped me believe in myself again and retrain alongside lively students. The training was valuable and insightful. I am now a fully qualified counsellor with a varied and meaningful workload. I am still with Cruse as a supervisor, interviewer, and bereavement volunteer after 6 years. I am a volunteer counsellor at Trinity Hospice. I was a vice chair at Mind Lambeth and Southwark for 4 years after volunteering for them. I am still approached by various charities for ongoing roles. My private work is busy and getting ongoing referrals is never an issue."
