We have applied for and are awaiting endorsement by the CPCAB (Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) — the only awarding body run by counsellors, for counsellors. We understand how important professional recognition is, and we’re committed to ensuring course attendees receive a high standard of accreditation. You will receive a certificate for the training once you have completed all six days. Each day is five hours and you will receive a certificate for four hours per day to account for the scheduled breaks. (A total of 24 hours of training across the six days)
You can choose to pay in full or to spread the payments over eight monthly instalments. If you need to discuss a different payment plan or would like to arrange to have your organisation invoiced for your place, please email [email protected]
If you have any questions that aren't answered here, you can email our training lead on [email protected]
This training is for trainee and qualified counsellors, therapists & coaches. Or professionals from other mental health backgrounds who are working with survivors of sexual violence
On each training day, we typically welcome members and set some boundaries together. We explore training aims and how to get the most from the day. We offer time to get to know each other and then move through the training with a series of creative slides, with plenty of discussions and exercises. We utilise breakout rooms for reflection and exploration. We finish with some reflections and further reading suggestions.
We don't offer refunds as this training is offered online to improve access and if you miss a module you can catch up on a future cohort. We have a maximum number of attendees for each group and once we reach that we close enrolments.
We host all of our live CPD's, training and events on Zoom, so you will need a computer or device to access the internet and also a free Zoom account to join us. You will also need a working camera so we can see you and interact with you. You will also need headphones to ensure that sharing circles are confidential and others can't be overheard.
YES! You will receive a CPCAB-endorsed certificate (once endorsement is finalised). Which will be posted out at the end of the training. In addition, you will receive the PDF slides and any extra downloadable resources that may go with that training, which will be emailed to you.
