A message about our first year
A note from Sarah
Hello and welcome to Greenwood Counselling Academy.
I founded Greenwood with a clear vision: to create a space where you feel inspired, supported, and empowered to grow through high-quality counselling training. A space where you are listened to, respected, and can enjoy the learning journey.
Counselling qualifications are more than just career development—they help you grow as a person. I still remember how transformative my own counselling diploma was, and I’m passionate about providing the same experience to our students. At Greenwood, we provide the training, resources, and supportive environment to help you develop the skills, confidence, and integrity to make a real difference in the lives of others.
I’m proud to work with an exceptional team of tutors who bring experience, passion, and professionalism to everything we do. Together, we’ve created a truly special place in Nottingham, and we can’t wait to share this first year with you.
