The people who work at CPPD share the vision and values of the community they serve.
CPPD is one of the UK’s leading humanistic integrative counselling training schools, offering tuition responsive to the needs of each individual student. We value every student’s existing life experiences and skills within our friendly and creative environment. Our courses run in the evening and at weekends, with intakes in Spring as well as Autumn. This provides flexibility for people in employment, or with busy family lives, who want to train in counselling. Accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), CPPD and everyone that works here, is fully committed to promoting the highest professional standards in its teaching and clinical practices.
