Our co-co teacher training programme for 2025
This four-month annual course starts this year in July 2025, is led by Tonya and runs primarily online. It includes a two-day London retreat (which may also run online this year, depending upon how international the course is this year). The programme will tool you up to teach co-counselling confidently (in-person or online), wherever you are in the world, so that you can create a sustainable growth-business teaching something you love… something that is growing in demand in the character-forming times we’re living in!
In the first month of the training, we’re going to inspire you about what teaching co-counselling could be and do for you. We’ll walk you through several different models for your new business and teach you how to use various tools so that you can teach confidently both on and offline, to meet the demands of the time.
In the second month, we’ll cover the basic ingredients of a Fundamentals training and explore how you can make your natural facilitation style work for you and your group. We’ll also troubleshoot some of the situations that you could encounter when leading your groups, so that you can learn to navigate confidently around them.
‘I’d like to celebrate the fact that I’ve been involved in this amazing course. It’s been for me transformational. I’ve developed in so many ways that
I would not have even imagined!’
In the third month, we’ll move into the practicalities of sharing the tools of co-counselling: looking at the different business models and approaches. I will show you how you can live sustainably while teaching something you love (something that I have done now for over 30 years… I’m now one of the UK’s (and perhaps the world’s) most experienced teachers)!
We’ll also learn about managing assessment and accreditation and follow-up. And, following a two-day training retreat included as part of the programme (you’ll need to be able to attend this to get accredited), you’ll emerge confident, ready to set up your own Fundamentals - either on or offline.
You will also get the opportunity to assist on and help facilitate our own in-person Fundamentals trainings (where applicable), our online co-counselling programmes and further skills courses. You will get individualised feedback and validation of your facilitator skills and unique personal facilitation style over the course of the programme and after any courses in which you have co-facilitated or assisted.
P.S. There will be two webinars and a two-day facilitator Facebook Challenge in the run up to the programme starting. Please 'friend' Tonya @ Tonya Gabrielle Christie to get involved.
If you would like to talk to Tonya about any aspect of the programme, please email her at tonya@littlewhitefeather.co.uk to set up a time to talk (places limited at certain points during the year).
