CWR (under the banner of 'Waverley Training and Events') has pioneered Christian pastoral care and counselling training for over 30 years.
Our wide range of courses provides training for those with a heart to help others at every level.
The distinctive feature of all our courses is that they are based on a firm biblical foundation, integrating biblical understanding of the human personality with the best contemporary models of counselling.
If you are thinking about taking a first step into pastoral care or counselling training, the best place to start is the Introduction to Biblical Counselling course.
If you would like to ask any questions about counselling training, please call us on +44 (0)1252 784731 during regular business hours or email us.
All courses are held at Waverley Abbey House, Farnham, Surrey, UK unless otherwise indicated beneath the course date.
Proposed government regulation of counselling and psychotherapy
For updates on the proposed government regulation of counsellors and psychotherapists, visit the Health Professions Council (HPC) website. Download their 6 July 2009 paper in PDF format.
The HPC is due to consult on the regulation of psychotherapists and counsellors August–October 2009, and no final decisions can be made until the consultation has taken place. Anyone can respond to the consultation, which will be available here.
Various professional counselling bodies have statements on their websites which add their perspective on the developments. For example BACP, ACC and CS.
We here at CWR are working towards bringing our counselling courses into line with government regulations in order to maintain our excellent training both for Christian counsellors and counsellors-to-be.
