Counselling Retreats

Both counsellors on placement with us and those who have never worked with us are welcome. A therapeutic retreat can help you reconnect with your core values and discover new direction and purpose. These retreats provide stress relief in a calming and immersive environment helping to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue. Our continued professional development opportunities thread throughout the experience to allow a healthy balance of learning and relaxation. The next Counselling retreat will be at the beginning of 2026. Dates are confirmed in the first weeks of each new year.

Rachel and Michelle are incredibly caring and supportive. All activities were engaging, enjoyable and provided multiple opportunities for reflection and learning.

We were so incredibly held and supported throughout the whole weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to attend another retreat as the potential for learning is so rich.

The retreat was excellent and extremely valuable. I really appreciated the balance between business discussions, learning sessions, and the many opportunities for reflection and meaningful connection with others. Rachel and Michelle organised and delivered everything in a friendly, engaging and professional way.

The event exceeded my expectations in the quality of training, the venue, and the balance of activities offered. Well worth the financial outlay.

My experience of the counselling retreat was extremely positive. It gave me the opportunity to meet other counsellors face to face, which would otherwise be difficult for me as I live outside of Cornwall. Being able to network and learn about each other’s specialisms was really helpful for future work with clients and knowing the best person to refer onto if you do not feel…

The retreat was a first for me and I had no idea what to expect. The venue was absolutely beautiful, the perfect setting providing a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The training itself was delivered in a down to earth and inclusive style that really suited my learning style. With regard to the content, there were some eye opening moments and I learned so much more…

A great time connecting with like-minded people.

This retreat was fantastic, so worthwhile and brilliant value for money. Already looking forward to the next one!
