Co-Counselling Training (online) - Autumn 2025

Upon completing the training you will become part of the local and international network of co-counsellors (Co-Counselling International - CCI) with whom you can continue regular co-counselling sessions for free.

Practicing co-counselling empowers you to lead your life authentically and with compassion to yourself and those around you. Co-counselling can also be thought of as relationship counselling - it's about learning to nourish all relationships in our lives; from our relationship with ourselves, to our relationships with friends, families, lovers, colleagues, and with the world at large.

This course will be facilitated by a team led by Kathleen Cassidy. Kathleen has taught over 450 people and 20 courses across the UK, both in person and online, over the past 8 years. Here are some quotes from people who have completed recent co-counselling trainings with her:

''I found this course through a recommendation by a friend and didn't really know what to expect. It has been such a wonderful journey and I have learned so much about myself. I can't thank Kathleen enough for holding the space so well and being so welcoming and gentle with us all.''

''The quality of Kathleen's teaching was fantastic, and the course was enhanced by the regular support by co-counsellors with over 20 years' experience. I got a lot out of the techniques almost immediately, and think co-counselling (as well as advocating independence and self-reliance) offers a route to important experiences that might take months of therapy.''

Do people sometimes very gently and delicately mention something vague about emotional intelligence? Do you sometimes have sensations that you don't know how to talk about? You should do this training. This is the one. Start here. Kathleen is a skilled facilitator and co-counselling will help you in so many ways. Parts will be uncomfortable, but you can go at your own pace, share what you want to share, and I guarantee you will come out of it a better human being.''

''The course is neatly structured and excellently taught by a supportive and knowledgeable team. It gave me access to techniques to help me learn more about myself and has also given me a fresh insight into the inner lives of others. The bottom line is that it's helping me to build greater resilience and I feel less alone when dealing with challenges. When the course ends you're given access to a bunch of resources and support to make a smooth transition to ongoing use of co-counselling in the months, and years ahead.''

''I got so much from this course. I am excited about using co-counselling to both support my own mental health and personal growth and that of my community. I really valued Kathleen's patience, knowledge, clarity and sense of fun. I recommend her training highly.''

''This co-counselling course, learning the skills and getting to practice them in a supportive and safe environment, changed my life. Thank you. I'd encourage anyone who is thinking about it to go for it, coco seems like it taps into our deep needs for connection, understanding and emotional release as humans, and helps us honour and look after those needs in a healthy, self-directed and balanced way.''

All people welcome.
