We're looking forward to seeing the new learners with Adept Central when they start their journey with the Level 2 certificate. The course delivers high quality, face to face teaching, we provide the venue and the refreshments. Only three places left so don't hang around

We are looking forward to welcoming the students and lecturers of Adept Central back to our meeting room from next week. If you've ever wondered what ti is like to train with them then this video gives you a good idea of how we set the room out for training.

We are proud of our working relationship with Adept Central. We've looked after many groups of students and seen how they've progressed and developed. Their teaching and care of their students is of a high standard so they would make a great choice for any one wanting to train in counselling

We have hosted the students of Adept Central for several years now. They come to us in the evening, often after a full day at work. They receive excellent guidance from Sharon and Hope and obviously really enjoy their courses.

If you've ever wondered about developing a career in counselling then this course is an excellent start.

Sometimes you don't need a big meeting room, you just need to get two or three people together to sort out an issue.

Whilst we don't have a permanent tenant for Room 6, this makes an ideal space for 1 to 1 meetings or for three people to get together. The room also contains a small kitchen you you can make yourselves hot drinks to ease people into the meeting.

Get in touch if this is a space you are interested in using

One of the great community projects that has been taking place in Lichfield is the Common Threads project at Lichfield Cathedral. Led by Dagmar and John at The Fabric Vault, local people have been sewing squares to make a table runner for the Table for the Nation that has been on display in the cathedral. The finished table runner was on display yesterday and a huge range of creative squares have been made representing the businesses, organisations, charities and places of our beautiful city.

Lots of people were there to look at the finished work and to admire the skill and creativity of our community.

This amazing charity shop is just s few minutes walk from Advantage House. It's been open for 40 years and they are celebrating this weekend. The 80s music was in full flow when I walked past this morning.

Well done to all the local volunteers who have given their time to work in the shop over the years

Today's Saturday workshop was something special - we welcomed two Adept graduates back into the classroom to share their journey from qualification to thriving private practice!

This is what sets Adept apart. We don't just hand you a certificate and wave goodbye - we show you exactly what life looks like on the other side, with honest insights from people who've walked the path you're on right now.

Our current Level 4 students heard real stories about:

Watching our graduates flourish isn't just our proudest achievement - it's proof that our training creates counsellors who don't just survive in practice but thrive.

It's hard to believe that today we had our annual PAT testing with Lichfield PAT Testing Ltd. The year has flown by!
As ever the service from Andrew and Graham Shipton was thoroughly professional and efficient. They also brough Marketing Manager Dexter with them, he enjoyed exploring the building and looking cute, as you can see below.
It's great to work with an excellent local business as we look after Advantage House.
