When Rory came to Greenwood!
The official opening of Greenwood counselling academy
August 9th marked our Grand Opening, and who better to cut our ribbon than the Nation's Counselling Tutor, Rory Lees-Oakes?!
With years of training experience and thousands trusting Rory’s expertise on YouTube, we’re delighted to announce that Rory will be back to guest lecture to our L4 Diploma students in 2026.
As Rory said, ‘Strong foundations as a therapist set the stage for a successful, fulfilling career.’
We’re here to help you build those strong foundations, every step of the way.

A message from our Director
A note from Sarah
If you're here, you're probably as passionate about mental health and wellbeing as I am!
I founded Greenwood with a clear vision: to create a space that is utterly focused on growth. Where you are recognised as an individual and are inspired to not only chase your dreams, but to catch them too!
Those dreams probably include enhancing the mental health and wellbeing of yourself and of others.
I qualified as a counsellor in 2019 and I still remember how transformative my own training experience was. Those years taught me more than I could have ever imagined and I've brought the very best of that learning to Greenwood. Here you'll get 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 two remarkable tutors at Greenwood. Trusting them with carrying our ethos forward was an easy decision to make after witnessing their experience, passion, and professionalism first hand. Together, we’ve joined forces to bring you a training experience like no other.
