Heartful Therapy Training is a collaboration between Cabby Laffy and Shana Laffy with the aim of providing high quality and experiential training to therapist/counsellors and other mental health practitioners on topics relevant to this field.
Heartful Therapy Training offers a variety of courses, 1-day CPD workshops, certificate courses and weekend events. The teaching is influenced by many schools of thought and offers an integrative view based on up to date research.
As a mirror of our approach to client work (one size does not fit all), our training methods invite students to take the skills on offer and shape them to fit their own style of working. As well as being rooted in theory, all of our training days encourage participants to connect with their intuition and felt sense, reminding us of the complexities and challenges of connection in the modern world.
