CPCAB

A unique opportunity to undertake a newly-developed Level 5 training in the field of trauma, based on a new theoretical model called 'Anastasis'. 

We are starting the next course in September 2025.  This enables therapists who have qualified at Level 4 in June/July 2025 a break before undertaking further training. You will bring your experience of working therapeutically with clients to the course as a valuable resource, and we want to allow time for you to build on your confidence and experience before enrolling on the Level 5.

Developmental and Relational Trauma Level 5 training

The course comprises 12 Saturday workshops (9.30am-5.30pm) and 10 online sessions (Fridays 9.45am-2.00pm), totalling circa 121 Guided Learning Hours (GLH).

This Level 5 diploma course is open to those who have a Level 4 counselling qualification, or equivalent training and experiential learning in a mental health role. It is important that candidates have sufficient self-awareness and personal stability to undertake the course.

At Authentic Therapy & Training we value inclusivity. Having taught our Level 5 diploma course for its first year, we have been reviewing and experimenting with alternate ways to meet course requirements and enable students to evidence their work. Assessment methods now include video and audio-recorded evidence, with increased tutor-observed criteria and peer-feedback evidence to support students whose preferred medium is not written work. For students who value the process of writing, written assignments can still be done.

There are a limited number of places available so, if you prefer a course that allows you to express yourself in various ways, and want to study a unique and original model, get in touch via the button above.

An 80% minimum attendance rate is required to successfully complete this course.

We are collaborating with the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body in offering an accredited Level 5 Diploma. CPCAB (the awarding organisation associated with your course). We are now taking applications and enquiries.
