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 is an independent Counselling and Personal Development Training Organisation.
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 a custom designed centre in Deptford.
The LC&CTA Centre,
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 interpersonal and counselling training which focuses on the intra and interpersonal experiential exploration of the obvious/known, and/or the latent or ‘unconscious’ fears, prejudices, and stereotypical beliefs we hold in relation to human diversity. Participating individuals (including tutors) may have inherited or absorbed such views from significant others, society itself or from other distorted life experiences. This training also explores the impact that belonging to either an ‘oppressed’ or an ‘oppressor’ group has on an individuals’ professional actions and ‘way of being’ in the world. Additionally we explore how we can minimise the harm such ‘isms’ generate within our professional practice, through the development of personal awareness and interpersonal honesty and open discourse.” (Chris Brown; up-dated Jan 2012)
National Research Success 2012
We are delighted to announce that once again our students’ research papers have received favourable peer review and have been selected for presentation at the annual British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Research Conference in Edinburgh in May. This year three student groups have submitted successful papers.
Prize winning submission
One research paper, entitled ‘Are there aspects of depression as a state of being that facilitate profound relational contact in the person-centred psychotherapeutic process?’, has won the National Research Prize offered by PCCS Books and this will be presented to Sukwinder Jandu and Paul Cilia La Corte at the conference. The other authors are Alena Dierickx, Antony Maxom, Fiwa Onifade and Belinda Smith.
We offer our congratulations to all concerned. More information.
