Transpersonal studies explicitly recognise the spiritual dimension to people's lives. Currently CFTS is running four courses: Introduction, Certificate and at Diploma level. We welcome anyone who values peace and happiness more than everyday comforts of life, as transpersonal work requires total dedication to 'Self'.

All our transpersonal courses are accredited with (Awarding body) NCFE. They offer a collection of insights, ideas and experiential knowledge of many diverse world spiritual and esoteric traditions integrated to advance current use of psychological understanding of human potentials.

Unlike other counselling and psychotherapy courses where people are taught skills to counsel others without much use or experience of 'self', here one must learn to become a counsellor to oneself and thus facilitate growth in others by 'being' a counsellor in the true sense. Instead of being burdened by intellectual information, which eventually leads to materialism, people are guided through journeys of transformation to their own centres of 'being'.

Although transpersonal psychology is popular as a method of approaching spirituality, the psyche is only a part of the self. Spirituality transcends the self-imposed limitations of traditional and transpersonal psychology because it takes one outside the realms of ego, taking the role of witness rather than that of the participant. It is about making a connection between oneself and the universe, overcoming the boundaries and limitations of the particular and knowing that we are individuals only in the universal sense and not in the particular.

The courses combine both psychology and a study of consciousness (light within). There is a study of west and east, mind and heart, spirit and matter and, moreover, a journey into self-discovery of our True (divine) nature. Attendance at CTS is about learning to establish a harmonious relationship between head and heart in order to live in harmony with the rest of humankind by enriching our lives with love and peace, and being able to live a life of joy through being 'alive' in totality. The courses are not about achieving professional success; instead they call for 'awakening' to our full potentials.
