CCST is the most established college of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Europe - currently in its 35th year. This is reflected in the experience of the tutor team, the well established support structure for the students – including a Teaching Clinic, regular Study Groups, Tutorials – and a wide network of previous graduates throughout the UK and in many other countries. The approach to Cranio-Sacral Therapy at CCST is Integrated Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Within the field of Cranio-Sacral Therapy there are different approaches, ranging from those which work primarily with the inherent healing forces of nature (sometimes described as biodynamic and seen as being more abstract) to those which are more orientated to the application of techniques (sometimes described as biomechanical and seen as being more grounded in basic sciences). CCST is distinctive in that it integrates all of these concepts to provide a comprehensive professional training with a broad approach that can respond more effectively to each patient according to his or her needs. The course is fundamentally biodynamic in nature, and also incorporates a wide spectrum of resources in order to expand the practitioner’s perspective, enhance therapeutic effectiveness, and enable most effective clinical practice, as well as providing a firm grounding in knowledge and clinical experience. The founder and principal Thomas Attlee DO RCST was the first teacher of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in the UK and is the author of the foundation volume “Cranio-Sacral Integration”. The college is accredited by the Cranio-Sacral Therapy Association. Graduates are eligible to use the letters RCST after their names. Approximately half the Registered Cranio-Sacral Therapists in the UK are graduates of CCST. The College offers a variety of trainings to suit different needs:

Cranio-Sacral Therapy:
1-year Diploma Course.
2-year Diploma Course - Weekend Format. Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology:
A certificated pre-Diploma foundation course

Post Graduate courses:
A variety of Post-Graduate trainings is available

There is also a clinic at the Centre for Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Primrose Hill, London NW1 8XE, offering a wide range of alternative therapies, and including a Low Cost Teaching Clinic, with treatments from £15. http://on.fb.me/1C4nwPD

“All I’ve said to my family since I’ve returned is ‘That course was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life’. I feel like a different person… so very connected to joy. It’s brimming through me, but also just feeling an inner peace that I’ve never felt before.”

Resolving trauma through Cranio-Sacral Integration is a powerful and effective process. CCST Founder and Principal, Thomas Attlee, has developed a unique and profoundly transformative approach.

In this four day seminar on Trauma in London, Nov 13-16, we will be:

♦in the Core
♦in the Energy Matrix
✨developing a well-integrated framework for a practical, resourced approach to resolving Trauma from a broad perspective.
✨integrating the many layers and levels of Trauma in a profound, safe, and effective manner.

✨Fascia is far more than connective tissue. It is a living, responsive matrix that supports movement, adaptation, protection, and communication throughout the body. Within this remarkable network, we often encounter the stories of injury, compensation, shock, and resilience.

We are delighted to be bringing our Integrated Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Therapy postgraduate Fascial Unwinding training to Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Over two immersive weekends, we will explore how gentle, skilled engagement with the fascial system can support the release of longstanding restrictions while remaining grounded in biodynamic principles and therapeutic presence.

🌿 Part 1 – Arms & Legs
📅 21–22 November 2026

🌿 Part 2 – Neck, Trunk & Viscera (Part 1 needs to be attended to participate in Part 2)
📅 13–14 March 2027

These courses are open to practitioners from a wide range of therapeutic backgrounds, including craniosacral therapists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, psychotherapists, and many others.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of fascia, expand your clinical skills, or integrate Fascial Unwinding into your existing practice, these weekends offer a practical, experiential, and profoundly supportive learning environment.

We look forward to welcoming both local and international practitioners to Slovenia.

Jennifer Mann | Nervous System Retraining shares, “Why is it that you can look calm on the outside and still feel worse in your symptoms later?….

A lot of people think they are regulated because they do not react or make things uncomfortable for anyone else.

They keep their voice steady. They make themselves reasonable, composed, and easy to be around. But your body still has to do something with the anger, grief, fear, or disappointment that never got to move.

It shows up somewhere else, like in a tight jaw, a migraine after a conversation, or the pain that appears after another moment of pretending something did not affect you.”

Cranio-sacral therapy can help support how we meet those parts that we are holding onto.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we learn to listen to the wider story held within the body — the effects of stress, injury, life experiences, trauma, resilience, and health.

In our professional cranio-sacral training at CCST, students are supported not only in developing clinical skills, but also in cultivating the therapeutic presence that lies at the heart of effective practice.

For many, the training becomes much more than a professional qualification. It is a journey of personal growth, self-discovery, and connection within a supportive learning community.

If you’ve been curious about Cranio-Sacral Therapy and would like to experience this work for yourself, we warmly invite you to join us at one of our upcoming London course:

✨ Professional Training – Stage One (Pt 1)
📍 London
📅 October 3-4

The first part of our professional training, designed for those wishing to embark on a comprehensive journey into Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Whether your goal is professional practice or a deeper understanding of the body, health, and healing, this two year training (one weekend per month in the academic year) provides a strong foundation for the path ahead.

Join us and discover why students from around the world have chosen CCST for the past four decades.

The Craniosacral Collaborative shared, “Craniosacral therapy asks us to become skilled listeners.

We bring our understanding of anatomy, physiology, the nervous system, fascia, fluids and movement into our hands — but we also learn when to step back from what we think we know.“

Join us this weekend for our upcoming cranio-sacral professional training course that graduates call “transformative and life changing“.

“I want to share that this is my favorite class I have ever taken. I absolutely love it”

As an integral part of our CCST curriculum, Distant Cranio-Sacral Integration is particularly helpful for treating babies and children, for those who are house-bound or who have limited mobility and are unable to visit a clinic, for accidents, illness or trauma while abroad without direct access to a therapist, for supporting patients between hands-on sessions, etc. It’s a very valuable resource at any time in day-to-day practice.

We also find that the insights gained from working with Distant CST provide very valuable changes in perception and transformative skills which enhance direct hands-on CST, enabling therapists to engage more profoundly and more effectively.

The course is Open to all Cranio-Sacral Therapists and Cranial Osteopaths and will take place over 5 Tuesday evenings over 5 weeks starting Tuesday September 29 from 6:00 pm - 8:00pm (UK Time).
