This programme was created for people who are curious about themselves, fascinated by people, and committed to continuing their own personal growth as well as potentially supporting others. It is not therapy but it is a thoughtful, structured and deeply reflective learning experience that allows you to explore the world of psychotherapy while continuing your own personal development. You only need to be curious about people and willing to learn more about yourself. When we understand ourselves more deeply, we begin to understand others differently too. It’s also a foundation for people who want to go on to qualify as a psychotherapist.
Over seven immersive days we explore:
- Why we think, feel and behave as we do
- Attachment, relationships and emotional patterns
- Communication and helping skills that transform relationships
- Mental health, resilience and emotional wellbeing
- Trauma, loss and recovery
- Personal reflection and self-awareness
- Ethics, boundaries and professional practice
Drawing on contemporary counselling, psychotherapy and psychology, this seven-day experiential programme offers a unique opportunity to explore the theories, skills and insights that underpin emotional wellbeing and human change.
Throughout the programme you will be invited to reflect, discuss, practise new skills and deepen your understanding, not only of counselling theory, but of yourself. Many participants describe the experience as one of the most meaningful educational journeys they have undertaken.
This programme may be perfect for you if you:
- Have already experienced therapy and would like to continue growing.
- Love psychology, wellbeing and understanding people.
- Work in education, healthcare, coaching or helping professions.
- Want richer relationships through better communication.
- Are interested in emotional wellbeing and lifelong learning.
- Are considering becoming a counsellor or psychotherapist in the future and want to discover whether the profession feels right for you.
Understanding ourselves changes the way we experience our lives. Many of us reach a point where we realise that simply getting through life is no longer enough. Perhaps you’ve already experienced counselling or psychotherapy. Maybe you’ve done the work of healing and now find yourself wanting to understand yourself more deeply. You notice old relationship patterns, wonder why people behave as they do, or simply feel drawn towards learning more about the human mind.
Places are intentionally limited to create a supportive, reflective learning environment.
