Therapists – no, you can do your case studies independently. You can also decide to join us if you want more support.

New to therapy – yes, we need to support you through your learning. It may be that you attend one supervised clinic and we all agree that you are ready to continue independently. There are no promises but it is our hope that you will be set free before too long.

No, at the moment we plan only to run these qualifications from North Staffs. It’s beautiful here, you should come and see us.

Don’t forget this is an early bird offer. If we do run courses elsewhere in the future, you may not have access to an early bird price.

This is someone who already works in the caring professions – a touch therapist, talking therapist or coach. The new to therapy route discusses the therapeutic relationship, uniforms, paperwork, consultations, record keeping etc etc. if you don’t need this from us, join us as a therapist.

This is a day in a supervised clinic. The clinic will be shared with others who are completing their case studies.

We don’t foresee any issues with insurance. We have spoken with FHT who agree, in principle, to accredit the course.

In practice, this means that FHT members will be insured – let me be clear – this is an agreement in principle only – we haven’t applied for the accreditation yet.

Our insurers, Holistic Insurance, have agreed to offer insurance.

You are welcome to join us for our entry level qualification. The first course teaches a 5 point protocol with a well evidenced benefits to clients.

If you are already qualified (to an appropriate standard) we are happy to welcome you to our higher level qualifications.
