about us

Our training is demanding; our graduates offer the highest standard of knowledge and therapeutic skills in the psychotherapy profession. Each student on Terapia’s course is required to provide counselling and psychotherapy hours with children of all ages as well as their parents as part of their training requirements. This affords us with the potential to deliver an invaluable service to families who would otherwise not be able to afford it. We have the psychotherapeutic expertise and facilities to make a lasting difference working with other agencies and linking education, mental health and social services. We aim to put positive examples of joined up thinking into practice.
