Our Approach - what makes us different?
We provide a unique training experience that invites personal and professional growth towards certification as a counsellor, and specialised post qualification training. Training is a commitment requiring dedication and resilience, but from beginnings to professionally accredited Counsellor, or specialist Counsellor, our experienced staff will encourage and support you to learn, grow and achieve. We pride ourselves in creating a relaxed, comfortable yet stimulating environment, where students feel safe to explore, participate, experiment and learn together.
We believe that developing awareness of our internal psychological processes increases capacity for, connection, intimacy, empathy, acceptance and healing. Discover new depths, profound change and insights, where you will see yourself, your environment, experiences and others through new perspectives and greater understanding.
At Epione Therapy Training, we believe that learning is a lifelong journey. Our adult-focused programs are designed to empower individuals to explore and develop their full potential in a nurturing and encouraging setting.
We teach through creative, active engagement using practice and theory. We are neurodiversity-aware, and embrace students from all backgrounds and the LGBTQ community. We are passionate about building an ardent, diverse community of therapists who consider and care about equality, equity, and liberty, and support themselves and others to live with dignity, autonomy, joy and peace.
We are located in the beautiful village of Wye. The stunning countryside provides an inspirational backdrop and with a number of fabulous cafes and pubs in walking distance, there are plenty of options to socialise or find somewhere quiet to enjoy refreshments.
