Overview

The Certificate in Embodied Counselling is an in-depth training certifying you to be an Embodied Counselling Practitioner, skilled in working somatically, intentionally and relationally to effectively support clients in navigating the issues and challenges they are experiencing, and growing into their potential for vibrant, embodied, connected, meaningful living.

The multifaceted curriculum creatively engages students in personal and professional development. Students learn and integrate through practicing embodied counselling skills, engaging in continuous somatic practice, receiving embodied counselling sessions, as well as reflection, support, theoretical review, somatic research, extensive client work, supervision and feedback.

To ensure quality and personal attention, the training is kept to a small group of up to 12 to 16 students.

We form a supportive learning community, engaging with each other for somatic practice and research, sharing ideas and support.
