LRS Training began in 2017 in response to the need for specialist training for counsellors working with young people. LRS Training brings with it many years of experience of training counsellors and was set up by two very experienced practitioners and trainers. The priority for us when developing training programmes is to ensure that they are designed to meet the needs of therapists and to provide them with experience of best practice, practical skills and up to date knowledge. We aim to create learning environments that help practitioners to grow in confidence and to work in the best way for their clients.
