Foundation (Year 1) Course:
This is perfect as the foundation for our Year 2 or another counseling course, but many people do this course to enable them to avoid taking on other people’s issues and give them a tool to separate from clients with emotional distress as well as exploring their own reactions to situations, while helping them resolve conflict more smoothly.

Emotional therapy is a form of counseling but unlike many psychotherapies it tries to locate the root cause and feelings that are trapped and not just look at the symptoms. Negative experiences can cause coping mechanisms to be put in place, which are not always useful much later after the event or in everyday life. Old events that aren’t fully experienced act as unprocessed emotions and if locked away can cause emotional pain and destructive cycles. Emotional Counselling releases the original cause and allows you to spot protective learnt behaviours that no longer serve you. Unlike a lot of counselling strategies, emotional therapy is not always client led and clients are taught to explore the issues in a supportive fashion, and not just to “let off some of the steam”, but to fully explore and clear out the issue. Clients therefore become independent and not dependent on the counsellor. The foundation course also discusses social ideas and behaviours which can cause you not to live life fully or be your true self and many of these are unconscious learnt behaviours which can be broken quickly allowing you to live life to the full and be truly authentic to yourself. This social self-defence is not taught anywhere else in the UK and is one of the key factors to preventing ongoing issues and changing your life.

Year 1 is a foundation only and does not qualify you to practice, but is an excellent starting point for helping you explore your own issues and obtain a greater understanding of psychotherapies. You will be practising with each other, which means that you will learn not only the therapy skills, but also feel what it is like from the clients’ point of view.

You will gain a foundation diploma in Emotional Therapy.

Students will be invited to attend year 2 on completion of year 1

Second Year (Year 2) Course:
This course explores the groundbreaking idea that the process of psychology and counselling is flawed and potentially incorrect. Using specialist ideas and techniques, we will explore the normalising of excess negative and positive ideas. The course also explores social rigidity and thoughts at a much deeper level to enable you to gain a more flexible mind, which enables you a much deeper understanding of life.

Our Year 2 course must be taken at least 1 year later than the Foundation course and is completed after successfully doing consultation hours under an appointed mentor followed by an assessment.
