Learn the best way to help your clients resolve their emotional pain, grief and loss and build sustainable mental wellness with our 4 day grief training.

Train to become a Certified
Edu-Therapy™ Specialist

If your mission is to help others resolve their emotional pain effectively then we can help you achieve that.

If you have become aware that most approaches for grief and loss rarely bring about real and lasting change then you’ll love our well-established Cognitive approach. It combines education with action that has been shown to bring real results, evidenced over 30+ years.

If you are looking for a heart-centred practical toolkit, rather than traditional bereavement counselling, you’ll love our grief and loss training.

Carole Henderson - Grief and Bereavement expert

Carole Henderson - your trainer

Carole has been a Grief Specialist for over 15 years. She has helped hundreds of people heal their grieving hearts, and trained hundreds more in the techniques to effectively do this.

Always on the look out for the best way to help her clients she is thrilled to be able to bring Edu-Therapy™ to the UK as an evolutionary step forward in helping grieving people heal.

She is a popular trainer and has appeared as a Grief Expert across the BBC, on Channel 5 news and TES (formerly Times Educational Supplement).

What others have said about Carole:

“Carole is an exceptional trainer, clear, concise and passionate that you will gain clarity and have the confidence and capability to follow through with the programs she teaches. I learned more from her in 4 days, than I have from others over several weeks. The support that she gives after certification is second to none.”

“I was impressed by Carole’s delivery, knowledge and passion for her subject.”

“Carole's professional attitude and warm persona makes her ideal. After all in this position she is dealing with often vulnerable people, who are in need of support, often finding her service after a devastating loss. Once I called her and said, I know you are very busy, but I need some advice...and her response was, I will never be too busy to support you. Her knowledge and experience runs deep. I can whole heartedly recommend her services.”

“Carole's compassion, empathy and passion are amazing. She is an excellent trainer”

What is Edu-Therapy™ Grief Resolution?

- Rapidly accesses and identifies conflicting emotions
- Provides concrete easy to use steps that decrease the disturbing emotional intensity
- Once learned grieving people can easily repeat the process on their own or in a clinical setting
- Moves those struggling with emotional pain from being stuck in the past and into the present
- Teaches healthy emotional coping skills

You want to invest in the best possible training that will give you the powerful tools to help the people you serve. The Edu-Therapy™ Certification gives practical, experiential training alongside comprehensive support materials.

Edu-Therapy™ tools, and how to teach others to use them. At the end of the course you will be qualified to deliver Edu-Therapy™ to groups or individuals face-to-face. As part of your Certification Training investment, you will also be able to access additional training via our web-based portal, to enable you to deliver Edu-Therapy™ online.

Two-Part Programme

Part 1 - The Foundations of Emotional Pain Resolution

We strongly believe that is wrong to ask someone else to do something we haven't done ourselves. Therefore, for the first 2.5 days of the training we ask you to temporarily park your desire to help others. We will spend this time leading you through the Edu-Therapy™ programme to work on your own experiences of loss and grief.

Part 2 - The Certification

Once you have experienced Edu-Therapy™ in part 1 we will then move on to you applying the programme to help others in both 1-1 and group settings. Covering communication skills and how to use the programme materials, this is still very much an interactive workshop approach, rather than academic theory.

At the end of the 4 days you will have everything you need to offer Edu-Therapy™ grief resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications do I need?
None. All we ask is that you have an open mind and a heart willing to help others.

Is the course accredited?
Yes. It is accredited by ACCPH - Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists.

Is this a franchise?
No. We have a licence agreement which sets out how we support you after your training and rules under which you can use our programmes. There are no territories, other constrictions or costs that a franchise brings.

Why a licence?
As part of the Certification Package we’ll ask you to sign a licence agreement.

What is the licence for?
This is a legal document that sets out our promise to you and your promise to us in return. It protects you as it sets out in legal terms our promise to provide ongoing support and access to the advertised programmes. It protects us as it means you are using our brand according to the brand rules. It also protects clients as they know that the Specialists we refer them to are fully Edu-Therapy™ qualified and are committed to offering best practice.

To give you some peace of mind, we’ve never had anyone refuse to sign.

Who has to sign the licence?
Anyone who wants to undertake the training to be certified as an Edu-Therapy™ Specialist.

Can I cancel my licence agreement?
Yes but this does mean you would no longer be a certified Edu-Therapy™ Specialist and you would not be allowed to offer any Edu-Therapy™ programmes in any setting.

Can I read the licence agreement in advance?
Of course! You can download it here and you will receive your paper copy when you book the training.

Are there further costs?
The training course fee does not include accommodation or food so if you have booked in-person training and are not local, you will need to budget for your travel and accomodation as well as food.

When you start to work with clients, each of them will need a workbook which you can buy directly from us. There are also optional extras such as promotional items and training posters.
