Trusting and Sometimes Forgetting
By Mary Spring, ICPPD graduate, tutor, IACP-accredited counsellor/psychotherapist, and IACP-accredited supervisor I sit with you and we work, as we try to understand, To touch
At ICPPD we hold the three-fold notion that holism is a comprehensive way of viewing the human person, body mind and spirit and the interrelatedness encompassed and that it can be used to describe a way of growth for the person.
Hear from our Learners
ICPPD attracts people who appreciate a holistic perspective (link to new page) to helping and healing. Courses at ICPPD are integrative and holistic with emphasis on creativity and scholarly activity. More and more clients of today are asking for an integrated holistic approach to matters of health and well-being. The ICPPD graduate practitioner will be there to meet this emerging need.
