Shropshire Training and Counselling Practice (STCP, registered as Walden the Roots)
is a private training provider based in Telford. We have been successfully delivering counselling courses, including those approved by CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) and ABC (ABC Awards), for over 16 years.
Our counselling training courses are fully accredited and recognised by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and are compatible with British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) requirements (www.bacp.co.uk).
Based upon CPCAB’s developmental model (www.cpcab.co.uk) we combine practical counselling skills with the underpinning theory. Throughout the courses the focus is maintained on personal growth and self development. All our trainers are practising counsellors, as well as, qualified lectures and members of BACP.
Walden The Roots is also a recognised centre by the Skills and Education Group Awards (www.skillsandeducationgroupawards.co.uk). To enhance our trainees careers prospects in counselling we offer courses from both CPCAB and Skills and Education Group Awards awarding bodies.
