At The Luminary Compass, we specialise in delivering exceptional counselling skills training at Level 2 and Level 3, fully accredited by CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body). These nationally recognised qualifications are ideal for individuals beginning their journey into counselling, as well as for those who wish to deepen their relational skills in personal, professional, or voluntary contexts.
Public Workshops & Courses
Face-to-Face Learning for Everyday Emotional Growth, Insightful Relationships, and Confident Parenting
At The Luminary Compass, we believe that emotional awareness, better communication, and compassionate understanding shouldn't be locked away in professional training—they should be available to everyone. That’s why we offer therapeutically-informed workshops and courses for parents, couples, individuals, and curious minds, designed to bring the heart of counselling knowledge into daily life.
These sessions are not therapy, but they are deeply therapeutic, gently guided by qualified, practising professionals who understand the complexity of real-life relationships, stress, and emotional overwhelm. We bring clarity, not jargon. Warmth, not judgement. And practical tools you can take away and use the very same day.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Face‑to‑Face, Practitioner‑Led CPD in Dorset – For Counsellors and All Who Support Others
At The Luminary Compass, our CPD workshops and short courses offer more than logged hours—they bring real transformation. Rooted in face-to-face learning, and designed to serve professionals beyond counselling, our programme equips teachers, social workers, healthcare staff, coaches, HR leaders, and carers with the relational, ethical, and safeguarding skills they need.
If your work involves listening, caring or guiding others, our interactive CPD is for you.
