I loved this course, truly, and I am grateful to have attended it!
… effective, easy to follow and engaging.
Highly recommend the 10 week course for anyone thinking of pursuing Psychotherapy.
This course was everything I was hoping for, and more.
It was a great overview of the world of psychotherapy and generally a really great, positive experience.
For anyone curious about psychotherapy but not sure where to start, I'd highly recommend this foundation course as the ideal way to test the waters.
Signing up for this course was one of the best decisions I've made in recent years.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Foundation Course. It gave me a great insight into the world of Psychotherapy including both theory and skills practice. I would highly recommend to those considering the MSc course.
This course became a stabilising and special ritual for me in the whirlwind of life.
I would highly encourage anyone interested in the TPI Foundation Course to fully engage with this course. It was a joy from start to finish and very informative and educational.
The Turning Point foundation course is an excellent introduction to psychotherapy and couselling because of the variety of modalities that it covers. I highly recommend it for anyone who is unfamiliar with the vastness of the field or who is unsure which modality they would like to work with.
