College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy

This is a wonderful course. The teaching is first class, with a nice mixture of theory, theory that is backed up with practical demonstrations and treatments that we provide on fellow students. Thomas is great. He is clear and concise with his teaching, both during the theory and practical treatments. The course is structured so well, that you appreciate it more as you progress through the year and see how everything integrates. Thomas has great experience of being a therapist and teacher which clearly shows with his passion and professionalism. The tutors are top class therapists with lots of experience. With that, great advice and support was always available. They are lovely people that are always on hand to help. They back up Thomas well with their great input and insights through their knowledge and experience in Craniosacral therapy, as well as their experiences with other therapies and life in general.Personal development is a crucial aspect of the course. It becomes more clear how important clearing out one's own system is, in order to become a grounded, calm and balanced therapist, as you progress through the year and notice the wonderful, positive changes in yourself, on both a personal and professional level. The college do not shy away from communicating this.The college are good at adapting to situations. An example would be introducing small, morning break out groups for the students to talk to a tutor about their current feelings and emotions, and what things were getting brought up for them during the course. This was in response to some difficult emotions arising in some students during the stages. Students practice on each other, and traumas buried within the system can be released during treatment. This can result in temporarily experiencing somewhat difficult feelings, depending on the person, their background, and how much personal development they have done prior to the course. The tutors were always available and on hand to help if required. I think it is important for future students to understand that in order to become a therapist, they need to clear their own system and work on themselves. This course enables that clearing, which is wonderful, but can be difficult for someone who wasn't prepared or quite ready.I have had a huge transformation in myself. Through receiving weekly craniosacral treatments from the tutors and looking inwards to other aspects of myself, the course has positively transformed my life and everything it encompasses. I am a happier man now than I was one year ago, and the course has enabled this.This work has opened my eyes to the power of life, the universe, and where we fit in. It's been wonderful to work with such great people, and build friendships with students and tutors. I have found a new passion in life. Thank you all.

I can't recommend this course more highly. As a physician wanting to add another dimension of healing to my practice, I could not have been more pleased with how it was managed. The pace was terrific, the ongoing support was ever present and professional. I was pleased with the tutor group and found them accessible and caring. Lastly, there are no words for how knowledgable and caring Thomas is - a gifted educator as well as a seasoned cranial sacral therapist.

For me personally this course has completely changed the direction I thought I was heading in, for the better. Along the way there were things I might have thought could be adapted or changed but that's matter of perception and we all would think like this at one point or another. On the whole I enjoyed the course, the team and have made amazing life long friends to boot.

A truly transformative journey and a wonderful course!I have thoroughly enjoyed my time and learned so much from this wonderful training. Thomas and the tutor team held the space in a wonderfully supportive way and respected every individual’s journey through the training. The balance of theory and practical was perfect for me. I would highly recommend the training and the college. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with them all and I will miss the group and the space we held together. Wonderful.

Having practiced as a dentist of fifteen years and somatic counsellor for a similar time period, I have attended many trainings during the past thirty years and have found the one-year Diploma in Cranio-Sacral Therapy at the CCST to be one of the most enjoyable, growthful, and educational experiences, both on a personal and professional front. From the quality, calibre, and warm-heartedness of my peer group and tutors, to the depth, breadth, and richness of the training, to the genuine warmth, friendliness, and safety of the environment that we co-created together. It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to have trained alongside such passionate people in a respected, inspiring, and welcoming college. Much gratitude and wishing everyone the very best for the future. DAW

I have been waiting to train at the CCST for years now. I have recently experienced Stage A of their one year programme and I can not recommend it enough. You can tell they have been working on the format and experience for over 35years. From the minute you arrive to the minute you leave you are all one yet still treated as an individual (an extremely impressive feat). I cant wait for my next visit.

Definitely by far the worst college you can attend. This is the worse course you could consider doing. Absolutely nonsense, completely rip off, no consistency no structure. This college will drain every penny from you and give you nothing in return. The reviews are fake as Thomas promises to gift the books you need in return for a good review. I was treated disgustingly with no regard. They literally play vulnerable people for every penny they can get. The college needs reporting. Not sure why they can charge £10,000 for a course where you can’t hear a word Thomas is saying throughput the entire course (the old man teaching). This was the worse course I’ve ever done, complete waste of time and money. Steve Hines runs a very similar course where you actually learn cranial sacral therapy. CCST NEED TO BE STUCK OFF, considering they took great pleasure in telling everyone who attended the course, that the other College teaching Creaniol Therapy had been discredited. Most people who do this course end up worse than before they started & don’t learn anything. You will get more out of setting fire to your money than spending it with this college. CCST NEEDS TO BE CLOSEDOWN

I have absolutely loved this training, it is undoubtedly the best thing I have ever done. Thomas has such incredible knowledge and experience, which has been insightful and a huge learning curve. The structure of the course is managed really well and the sessions never feel overwhelming or stressful it feels relaxed and at the right pace. Thomas is always unflustered and really fosters that calm quiet presence, which we all aspire to have. Its been an absolute honour to train with him. The Tutor team are superb, all offering something different and all really supportive and inspiring. I loved the online revision sessions which kept me on-track between the stages and feeling part of a great support network. I have met some incredible people from all walks of life and feel they will be life-long friends going forward. I have never felt such a huge amount of love and safety so quickly and with such a large group of people I had never met before the course, its such a special and unique experience to be a part of where everyone is supporting each other through their own journey's. Although I'm really sad for it to be coming to an end as we all reach the final stage to qualify, I know the alliances will continue with the students and staff in the years ahead and I will definitely be returning to join the postgraduate courses post graduation. Thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for helping me make the best of the rest of my life! :)
