Traditional Counselling involves the client talking through their current and historical difficulties, with the counsellor providing support through listening, and responding. The counsellor also asks questions to help the client reach their own insights and answers.  

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming (EMDR) has been found again and again through methodologically sound research to be a fast and effective modality to use with adults, adolescents and children as young as 3 years.

By using the power of the body and mind in an integrative way, it can treat severe trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, and most other emotional and thought based difficulties, often in as little as 3-6 sessions. 

Theraplay is a style of therapy for children and young people, where they can engage in therapy that is enjoyable, supportive and matched uniquely to what they are going through, and need. 

In Theraplay, the young person attends therapy with their caregiver so that they can come together as a team. This encourages the young person to trust their caregiver. It builds security and lowers anxiety. It also supports the growth of  stronger and healthier family relationships  and dynamics.

Supervision is compulsory for all counsellors. However, for your development as a therapist and your personal self-care, it needs to be so much more than ticking a box. 

Counselling is a role where we bring so much of ourselves as a human being. We are providing a space for clients, and applying skills, and we are bringing our own humanity to the relationship. This is often where the most change can happen for our clients.

Hypnotherapy, which also works with the unconscious mind, is a powerful tool to go deep and re-pattern the brain on big issues. Addictions (smoking, drinking, eating, gambling, social media, etc) are issues readily tackled with hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is also well-suited to address difficulties such as changing relationship patterns, phobias, changing self-love and self-care patterns, as well as physical complaints.  

EFT, otherwise known as ‘Tapping’, is a tool based on traditional Chinese medicine, and modern neurology. It offers almost instantaneous relief from physical, emotional, and mental difficulties. It is super easy to learn and use. It is a tool that can be used anywhere, anytime – it travels everywhere with you.

Neuro- (brain) Linguistic (language) Programming (patterns) recognises the power of the unconscious mind, and the power of patterns housed there to direct our choices, relationships, and actions. NLP is a modality with many tools to change these unconscious patterns quickly and easily. 

Timeline Processes are another modality that works with the unconscious mind to make deep and lasting changes. All of us have been involved in events, decisions, and processes in the past. These pivotal moments have shaped who we are. At the time, they may have been necessary or useful or even traumatic, however they are no longer useful to our functioning, growth, and development. While we can never change the events of our past, we can change how we feel about them and the impact on our present and future. A timeline process allows us to do this. 

Learning in a group can be a powerful way to equip yourself with some of these life-changing tools. Having a room of people to bounce ideas off and learn from can increase our learning. Having others to practise tools with means that we have learnt them more deeply for when we get home.  

Courses are also a cost-effective way to learn.  

All courses come with a full course manual.
