Heart Wood training in client-centred, contact-orientated therapy and group facilitation in a nature setting

The Heart Wood Certificate Level Training Course is an in-person residential course, being offered as a seven-month long training experience, totalling 100 hours of CPD.

​The focus will be on the ways of being, philosophy, ethics and structures necessary for practitioners wanting to work outside the counselling room. A large amount of the input will focus on the many attitudes and skills of working with groups in nature, most of which are transferable to one-to-one working. We will also include specific elements of working one-to-one in nature.​

​​The 100 hours of training includes a minimum of five days of input in ‘Contact’ work by including the Extended Certificate in Pre-Therapy (contact reflections) certified by the Pre-Therapy International Network.
