Training is just the beginning.

When you take a course with us, you do not just gain a qualification.

You become part of the Total Therapy Association community.

This is a group created for therapists to support each other, share knowledge, and grow together in practice. Once you have joined a course, you are part of the community.

That means access to:
• Lifetime peer and teacher support
• Some free courses and learning opportunities
• Networking events with other therapists
• A supportive professional community across the UK and Ireland

And unlike many professional groups, there are no recurring membership fees.

The idea is simple. When therapists work together, share experience, and support each other, the whole profession becomes stronger.

The Total Therapy Association is about building a community where practitioners can connect, learn, and help improve the therapy industry together.

Because being a therapist should never feel like working alone.

Your client suddenly starts crying during treatment.

Not a quiet tear.
A real emotional release.

They say something about their childhood.
About feeling unheard.
About something painful they have carried for years.

And suddenly the treatment room feels very different.

Many therapists experience this moment at some point in their career.

The question is… what do you do next?

Do you change the subject?
Do you listen?
Do you try to help but feel unsure where the boundary is?

Most practitioners are never formally taught how to handle these situations, even though we work closely with people every day.

Our Emotional Therapy training helps you understand what is actually happening when emotions surface and how to work safely and professionally when they do.

You will learn how to:
• Understand emotional responses and protective behaviours
• Support clients without becoming overwhelmed yourself
• Recognise deeper emotional patterns
• Navigate difficult conversations safely and ethically

This course often changes the way practitioners understand people, communication, and even themselves.

If you work with clients, this knowledge is incredibly valuable.
