Training that meets the depth of the work
A CPCAB-accredited Level 7 Diploma, ongoing CPD, and bespoke training for organisations — all built around the Anastasis© model for the overcoming of developmental and relational trauma.
At Authentic Therapy & Training, our training exists to serve the profession we love — and, through it, the people who most need us to know what we are doing. We are passionate about the relationship between the provision of a genuinely trauma-focused approach and the practical application of professional standards. Depth and rigour, together.
Person-centred provision, and the values of mutuality, equity, empathy and respect, are foundational to everything we teach.
Who our training is for

We welcome applications from practitioners who are invested in deepening their understanding of the practical application of theory, broadening their capacity and capability with clients and supervisees, and — for those working towards it — pursuing Senior Accreditation (SCoPEd Column C).
Whether you have a Saturday spare each month, a full CPD year to plan, or fifteen months to give to a postgraduate qualification, there is a route below that will meet you where you are.
Working with developmental and relational trauma asks more of us than general counselling does — more steadiness, more self-knowledge, a wider window of tolerance of our own. That is precisely what considered, unhurried training is for.
Three routes in
Level 7 Diploma in Trauma-informed Advanced Therapeutic Practice
A CPCAB-accredited postgraduate diploma. Fifteen months. Twelve places.
A unique opportunity to study a new integrative model — Anastasis© — dedicated to the overcoming of developmental and relational trauma. Written for accredited counsellors and psychotherapists moving towards Senior Accreditation, and for those already doing the work who want a fuller map.
The course is mapped to SCoPEd Column C and includes defining your own individual therapeutic approach, a research project, and two in-person residentials alongside monthly online guided learning.
CPD For You
Masterclasses, an online CPD programme, and standalone workshops.
Three ways to work with Annie on your CPD across the year:
- Masterclasses — small, in-person, once-a-month working sessions where you bring your own client work and questions. £99 per person, five places per session.
- Introducing the Anastasis© Model — a full online programme, ten alternate-Friday mornings, giving you 30 hours of CPD (the full BACP annual requirement). £250 per person.
- Workshops — standalone sessions on developmental and relational trauma, and other topics. £125 per person. Bespoke workshops also available on request.
Training for Organisations
Workshop-based training shaped around your team's needs.
Annie also offers bespoke training to organisations, and delivers workshop-based training relating to her field of experience — in particular, the theoretical and ethical aspects of counselling and psychotherapy, and working with people who have experienced trauma and abuse.
If you lead a team, a service, or a peer supervision group and there is a specific theme, gap, or challenge you would like a workshop built around, do get in touch. Every bespoke engagement begins with a conversation.
Accredited by CPCAB at Level 7
The Level 7 Diploma in Trauma-informed Advanced Therapeutic Practice is accredited by CPCAB (the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) — the specialist awarding body for the counselling profession. This is the qualification most professional bodies now formally recognise as the route to Senior Accreditation (SCoPEd Column C).
