Welcome

LC&CTA is a dynamic Counselling Skills & Counsellor Training Association now well established on the Adult Education Scene.

This small but diverse organisation evolved out of the Counselling Training Department which used to exist at Lewisham College, and is dedicated to the promotion of equality, diversity of participation in the counselling profession and to learning through relational meeting and existential experience. LC&CTA now runs independently from Lewisham College.

The organisation has grown rapidly and we are receiving many new applicants wanting to train with us. To accommodate this expansion we have moved to custom designed premises in Deptford.

Our new address is
Broadway House, 15-16 Deptford Broadway, London SE8 4PA.
Telephone 020 8320 2311

We offer a wide range of counselling, intrapersonal and inter-personal communication courses which assist the ongoing development of all those engaged in, or wanting to enter any of the helping professions. Whilst we offer no concessions to applicants, our courses and one day workshops are highly affordable and provide inclusive training which often carries nationally recognised qualification.

To varied and appropriate degrees we deliver Experiential Diversity Training on all our courses, which is:

“A specific and embedded aspect of our counsellor training which focuses on the intra and interpersonal experiential exploration of the obvious/known and/or the latent or ‘unconscious’ fears, prejudices, stereotypical views and beliefs we hold in relation to human diversity; which participating individuals (including tutors) may have inherited or absorbed from significant others, society itself or from any other distorted life experience. This training also explores the impact of belonging to either an ‘oppressed’ or an ‘oppressor group’ and how we can minimise the impact of such ‘isms’ within our psychotherapeutic practice through the development of conscious awareness and personal and interpersonal honesty and open discourse.” (Chris Brown, 2009)

Chris Brown and Juanita Harriot founded LC&CTA and there are 19 highly experienced Tutors who work with them delivering the Portfolio of Courses which the company comprehensively offers.

LC&CTA is an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, an approved City & Guilds and CPCAB Training Centre, a UK Registered Training Provider and a registered Professional Organisation with the National Students Union.

LC&CTA is also in partnership with the Skills People at Lewisham College, a unit which delivers corporate and employee training in the workplace.



The co-directors of LC&CTA would like to thank Dame Ruth Silver for her help and support in setting up our training organisation and providing premises at Lewisham College and backup services prior to our move to Deptford.

LC&CTA are still linked to The Skills People at Lewisham College. Dame Ruth is now Chair of The Learning and Skills Improvement Service.
