CCPE history
In January 1984 a two-year part-time training programme, offering a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy was launched to fill the need for a genuinely transpersonal approach to counselling and psychotherapy. This was followed in 1986 by the introduction of an additional year of training so as to integrate some useful material from other therapeutic approaches. In 1991 the three-year course was extended to four years’ part-time training, so as to meet the high standards required in future professional therapeutic practice.
In 1987 a one-year part-time Certificate Course in Fundamentals of Counselling and Psychotherapy was introduced for those applicants who have had no previous counselling training or experience.
The Centre also offers a Supervision and Advanced Psychotherapy course, a research-based M.A. in Transpersonal Counselling & Psychotherapy, and a taught M.A. in Transpersonal Child, Adolescent & Family Therapy. The diploma course is UKCP accredited, the M.A. trainings are validated by the University of Northampton.
There are a variety of weekend seminars and on-going groups open to the public. Some 200 therapists currently practice at the Centre.
