CCST is the most established college of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Europe - currently in its 35th year. This is reflected in the experience of the tutor team, the well established support structure for the students – including a Teaching Clinic, regular Study Groups, Tutorials – and a wide network of previous graduates throughout the UK and in many other countries. The approach to Cranio-Sacral Therapy at CCST is Integrated Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Within the field of Cranio-Sacral Therapy there are different approaches, ranging from those which work primarily with the inherent healing forces of nature (sometimes described as biodynamic and seen as being more abstract) to those which are more orientated to the application of techniques (sometimes described as biomechanical and seen as being more grounded in basic sciences). CCST is distinctive in that it integrates all of these concepts to provide a comprehensive professional training with a broad approach that can respond more effectively to each patient according to his or her needs. The course is fundamentally biodynamic in nature, and also incorporates a wide spectrum of resources in order to expand the practitioner’s perspective, enhance therapeutic effectiveness, and enable most effective clinical practice, as well as providing a firm grounding in knowledge and clinical experience. The founder and principal Thomas Attlee DO RCST was the first teacher of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in the UK and is the author of the foundation volume “Cranio-Sacral Integration”. The college is accredited by the Cranio-Sacral Therapy Association. Graduates are eligible to use the letters RCST after their names. Approximately half the Registered Cranio-Sacral Therapists in the UK are graduates of CCST. The College offers a variety of trainings to suit different needs:

Cranio-Sacral Therapy:
1-year Diploma Course.
2-year Diploma Course - Weekend Format. Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology:
A certificated pre-Diploma foundation course

Post Graduate courses:

There is also a clinic at the Centre for Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Primrose Hill, London NW1 8XE, offering a wide range of alternative therapies, and including a Low Cost Teaching Clinic, with treatments from £15. http://on.fb.me/1C4nwPD

Working with the fascia offers an extraordinarily valuable therapeutic process, often with far-reaching repercussions. It can be pivotal in supporting recovery from musculo-skeletal injuries, relieving chronic pain and restriction, addressing emotional tension, assisting in the integration of profound trauma, and enhancing overall body-mind coherence. For many practitioners, fascial work becomes a key element in their approach — an entry point to deeper listening, more subtle engagement, and more effective outcomes.

In 2026, the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy is offering a comprehensive fascia-focused training programme designed to introduce and deepen practical skills in Fascial Unwinding. These courses will be highly practical and interactive, offering both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience.

The training will be led by Thomas Attlee, principal of the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy, presenting an approach to fascial work that is not generally available elsewhere.

shares “✨ 🧠 You are an energetic being.

Align your habits with the frequency you want to embody. Every habit, thought, and emotion rewires your brain, quite literally. Your neurons fire together and wire together, strengthening pathways that shape your reality. This is neuroplasticity in action! Daily habits determine your dominant brain wave state, influencing focus, creativity, stress, and how deeply you heal.”

Cranio-sacral Therapy supports this natural process of renewal. Through gentle contact and deep listening, the system begins to settle and reorganise, creating space for balance and ease. Working with the fascia deepens this — helping the body reconnect through its intricate web of relationships. ✨

We’re offering online and in-person classes in 2026 exploring fascia and its role in healing.

shares: “Negative emotions.

With them comes a chain affect of negative impacts on the body, such as tension causing viscoelastic adaptation.

Viscoelastic adaptation refers to the fascia’s ability to reshape itself, responding to your mechanical and emotional environment.

‘You are what you eat’ a common term used to describe and suggest that your body becomes a reflection of your dietary choices.

In this case, your fascia too becomes what it experiences. Your fascia is your emotions.”

shares “✨ There is a quiet magic in presence. ✨

In Craniosacral Therapy, the therapist’s stillness creates a field of safety — a space where your body can slow down, listen, and remember what ease feels like.

No pushing. No forcing.
Just the gentle meeting of awareness and trust —
and the body’s own wisdom leading the way back to balance.”

shares: ✨ What is Craniosacral Therapy? ✨
Craniosacral therapy is a living, evolving practice — shaped by many hands, hearts, and traditions. What you see here reflects just a few of the themes and principles that weave through this deeply relational work.

This is only the tip of the iceberg — an unfolding field of listening, presence, and connection. “

CCST graduate shares: “A question I get asked a lot, and to be honest words are quite limiting when trying to explain how this beautiful treatment works…. But I am going to try anyway….

I could go in to quantum physics, or anatomy, or how the nervous system functions… But don’t worry I wont 😅 (stay with me here)….

I want to explain craniosacral therapy from my personal perspective, from a heart centered space ❤️…

As a practitioner, as I gently lay my hands on you during your treatment, I am attuning to you….. Like a radio dial tunes in to a certain radio station frequency, my dial is tuning in to your entire being… Every aspect of you that your being is ready to show me, I will pick up on and hold space for…

I may be feeling your physical aches and pains, points of tension in your body, your emotional state, your nervous system, your overall flow of energy, where you may feel blocked, where your energy feels free and expressive….

Your body will be speaking a thousand words, and I will be listening, deeply.

As I am present with and consciously acknowledge what I am feeling in your body and in your being, I notice changes… Ah something just released, something just opened up, oh and something just relaxed, something needs a bit more space and something is drawing me in a bit closer….

As we go deeper in to the session we often go deeper in to your being, we work through more layers and stuff you have been carrying around with you for years may begin to show itself…

And this whole entire time, I am doing very little but holding space for all of this expression of yours, by simply being deeply present with you, without judgement, without an agenda, without trying to change you….

And this is what initiates your healing… This is what allows your body to find its way back to regulation, back to calm, back to feeling grounded, back to a deeper connection with yourself…. Everything feels a bit more open, a bit lighter and you may feel like something big has shifted but you can’t quite articulate it…

& then I thank your being, for allowing me to witness you whilst you heal yourself 🫶🏼”
