Curriculum

A clinical education
built for coaches,
not clinicians

Six tracks, taught in terms. Every lecture is live, recorded, and paired with a case consultation so the material lands in your actual practice rather than your notes.

Therapy literacy

What therapy actually does. The difference between a modality, a technique and a relationship. How to read a clinician's letter, ask a useful question, and know what you are looking at when a client describes their treatment.

  • Six lectures · 90 minutes each · recorded
  • Modalities compared: CBT, psychodynamic, systemic, gestalt, ACT, somatic
  • Outcome: you can explain what therapy is to a sceptical client in two minutes
  • Term 1No prerequisites
    02

    Trauma-informed practice

    Safety is not a tone of voice. It is a set of structural decisions: pacing, predictability, consent at every step, and a clear understanding of what you will not ask someone to do. This track is the one most coaches say changed their practice immediately.

  • Eight lectures · window of tolerance, grounding, stabilisation
  • Recognising trauma responses inside ordinary coaching conversations
  • Outcome: you can spot a trauma response and adjust without making it the topic
  • Term 1–2Core
    03

    Scope, ethics and referral

    The hardest skill in this work is stopping. This track gives you a defensible line, a referral script that does not feel like abandonment, and the documentation habits that protect both you and the client when something goes wrong.

  • Six lectures plus two live role-plays
  • Consent, duty of care, note-keeping, escalation
  • Outcome: a written scope statement for your own practice
  • Term 2Certification unit
    04

    Asian contexts

    Imported frameworks assume an individual who chooses freely. In much of Asia the client is embedded in a family economy of duty, obligation and face. This track examines what that does to diagnosis, disclosure and the decision to seek help at all.

  • Five lectures · stigma, filial duty, shame and honour, faith, migration
  • Case material from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines and India
  • Outcome: you can work with family duty rather than treating it as resistance
  • Term 2–3Distinctive
    05

    Applied modalities

    What you may borrow from clinical practice, and what stays in clinical hands. Each modality is taught by a practitioner who uses it daily, with explicit boundary notes and demonstrations you can observe rather than imitate.

  • Nine lectures · CBT, gestalt, ACT, attachment, somatic
  • Every technique carries a "safe in coaching / refer" flag
  • Outcome: three techniques you can use competently, not twenty you have seen once
  • Term 3Practice
    06

    Supervision and practice

    A monthly group with a clinical supervisor, capped at eight practitioners. You bring real cases. Nobody performs competence. This is the part of training that keeps people in the work for decades.

  • Monthly · 2 hours · eight practitioners maximum
  • Case consultation, ethical reflection, practice review
  • Outcome: a standing reflective practice, not a one-off course
  • OngoingMembers only
    Certification

    Thirty-four lectures. Twelve case clinics. One portfolio.
