Training to become a counsellor is a challenging yet rewarding process, and so we are delighted that you are thinking of trusting us in taking your first step on that journey.

Established in 2011, CTCC is a CPCAB-approved centre, with extensive experience of the training route to becoming a qualified counsellor.

Based in Coleshill, all courses are delivered in-person by two qualified and experienced practitioners. This is to ensure that every learner is given the individual attention and support necessary to complete their qualification successfully.

Our accredited courses blend theory with real, hands-on skills practice — designed to feel like the real thing because we believe that's how you truly learn. We thoughtfully curate the course content; mapped to CPCAB's course specification and underpinned by the BACP ethical framework. Most importantly, we’ve designed it to be enjoyable and inclusive of all learners.

The venue is located in a private room at Coleshill Hotel, B46 3BG which has great transport links and dedicated free parking.
