Intake Ethos:
At Long Valley Therapy Training, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, open, and diverse learning environment grounded in professional and ethical standards. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who share a commitment to personal growth, empathy, and a genuine desire to support the wellbeing of others. Across all our programmes, from introductory to advanced, we seek individuals who bring open-mindedness, a respect for difference, and a readiness for self-exploration.
We place high value on human diversity, including the richness of intersectional identities. Our programmes align with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society’s (NCPS) Code of Ethics, which emphasises respect, inclusion, and non-discrimination as essential to ethical practice. We seek applicants who share these values, as they are fundamental to compassionate, professional care. Our goal is to prepare therapists and supervisors who are not only skilled in theory and practice but are also committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients from all walks of life.
We particularly value individuals who balance being relatable and professional, respect the boundaries of the therapeutic space, and are open to building positive, supportive relationships with their peers. This capacity for professional warmth and boundary-setting is essential in fostering a learning environment where all participants feel supported and valued.
Training with us is both an academic and an emotional commitment, requiring flexibility, openness to growth, and a willingness to engage deeply with one’s own beliefs and biases. We encourage applicants ready to embrace the complexities of human experience and to develop skills that go beyond theory, grounded in relational depth and ethical awareness.
Our commitment to these principles, aligned with the NCPS Code of Ethics, reflects our dedication to developing compassionate, ethical practitioners who can make a meaningful difference in the lives of their clients and communities.
