"We have to be able to stand alone before we can truly stand beside another." – Gerald Corey

Gerald Corey is one of the key theorists that participants study on our courses, and his words capture where counselling begins: knowing yourself. Before we can really support other people, we need to learn to listen to ourselves.

That's where our Introduction to Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy begins. Over 60 hours online, you will:
✔ Build your communication and relationship skills
✔ Reflect on experience as the primary tool in developing self-awareness.
✔ Explore the main counselling approaches and skills

No previous experience needed, just openness to learning. The course earns 60 CPD points and can lead on to further training in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.

📅 Starts 7 October on Zoom. Payment plans available.

Our logo is a circle with seven interlocking discs. It represents balance, interconnectedness, and the wholeness at the heart of holistic practice. But a brand is more than a symbol on a page.

At ICPPD, what we are known for has always grown from the inside out. It lives in the way a tutor engages with a learner, in the honesty a learner brings to a group exercise, in the quiet courage it takes to ask "what kind of therapist do I want to be?" and to stay with the question long enough for it to matter.

We did not set out to build a brand. We set out to create a community where personal development and professional formation could happen together, where intellectual rigour and emotional depth would be held as equals. The recognition that followed came because people experienced something real here, and they carried that experience with them into their own practice — and into the lives of the clients they go on to support with greater presence, wisdom and care.

That is what a brand means to us: not a message we put out into the world, but a quality of experience people carry with them when they leave the room.
