Warm Autumn Greetings to you all,

I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable summer, filled with time to rest, recharge and simply be.

Autumn has arrived gently, and here at ICPPD classes recommence for the BA (Hons) in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy in Athlone, Dublin and Galway. We welcome our new learners as they take their first steps into the ICPPD learning community. We also welcome back our returning learners, whose presence continues to enrich our shared learning.

I wish to express my deep gratitude to the team of tutors continuing with us this year, and a warm welcome to those joining us for the first time. I hope all involved with ICPPD have a year of learning, positive experiences and friendships.

Looking ahead, we’re delighted to welcome applications for courses commencing in the coming weeks – our Diploma in Supervision across Professions – a Holistic Approach, the Diploma in Person-centred Expressive Arts, and the Introduction to Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy. We look forward to the learning and connection each will bring.

As we begin this new academic year together, John O’Donohue’s poem “For a New Beginning” feels like a fitting companion:

“Awaken your spirit to adventure;

Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;

Soon you will home in a new rhythm,

For your soul senses the world that awaits you.”

Wishing you a peaceful and grounding autumn

Tom Moran
