About Lotus Training
Qualifications that change lives
Professional, compassionate counselling training
founded on a belief that quality education
should be accessible and affordable.
At Lotus Training Co, we believe that developing as a counsellor is about more than gaining a qualification. It is also a journey of self-awareness, curiosity and learning how to be fully present with another person.
We bring mindfulness and an open-hearted approach into our counselling training, creating opportunities to explore both professional skills and personal development. Our founding commitment is to make that learning more accessible and affordable.
Supporting Counsellors since 2012
Lotus Training Co has been delivering counselling courses since 2012. Our focus includes advanced psychotherapeutic counselling and supervision training, alongside specialist learning opportunities for practitioners.
Our counselling qualifications are awarded by CPCAB, a specialist awarding body for counselling and psychotherapy education. Course-specific entry requirements and qualification details should be checked on the relevant course page.
Why I founded Lotus Training Co
In 2005, I qualified as a Core Process Psychotherapist. My training was a deeply valuable experience, shaping the way I understand mindfulness, compassion and the therapeutic relationship. But the course fees were £20,000.
That cost made me think about how many people with the potential to become thoughtful, skilled counsellors might be unable to access professional training simply because of the financial commitment.
I wanted to do something different.
I founded Lotus Training Co to offer professional, high-quality counselling training that would be more accessible and affordable to more people, without losing the depth of learning, personal development and care that matter so much in this work.
That founding belief still guides our approach today: professional standards alongside warmth, compassion and respect for each student’s individual journey.
Our Approach to Learning
Our courses lead to nationally regulated qualifications awarded by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) – the only Ofqual-approved awarding body to specialise in the field of counselling and supervision.
Professional development with a human touch
Our training explores the relationship between self-awareness and therapeutic practice. Mindfulness is woven through our approach, including attention to the breath, body, compassion and our connection with others.
Whether you are developing your counselling practice or considering further specialist training, we invite you to discover the learning opportunities available at Lotus.
