Meet the Faculty

The Awareness Centre Training School attracts exceptional tutors and supervisors at the forefront of the mental health field. Our tutors are experienced in teaching many approaches to counselling and psychotherapy, including Gestalt, Existential, Object Relations, Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Transpersonal and Transactional Analysis. They specialise in working with a range of issues, including Addiction, Bereavement, Dreams and Risk. Our visiting Psychiatrists teach our students to understand diagnosis and medication to support their clinical work with clients. And our team of Course Supervisors have been carefully selected to support our Diploma students on their training journey to integrate counselling skills and theory into their practice and learn how to understand their own processing in counselling.
