Our Training Centres

Purpose-Built and Designed Learning Environments

MA students attend modules in both of our training centres. Some of our short- and medium-term courses are held in both centres also. In addition to holding onsite training in our training centres we also provide a vast array of training live online.

Our onsite libraries at CTC Ballymore and CTC Limerick have over 2500 relevant books, videos, journals, and articles available for the trainee’s use. Most of these resources are available for trainees to borrow from our lending library, others are available for reference purposes. Trainees can access the books, articles, journals, and reference files when on site, and can borrow books between modules. We also have an extensive Online Library available on our Online Learning Site, Moodle. We provide trainees with many documents to support their clinical practice, including session record forms and guidelines, consent forms, intake paperwork, and clinical governance documents.

CTC Ballymore
Our Westmeath Training Centre

CTC has a purpose-built training centre in Ballymore, Co. Westmeath that was specifically designed for the delivery of training for trainee psychotherapists, taking account of the experiential and therapeutic aspects of such training and the need for a private, comfortable space to support such personal work. It is fully equipped with materials for use within the training sessions and experiential workshops. Extensive gardens provide a recreational space for trainees to relax during breaks.

CTC Plassey
Our Limerick Training Centre

Our second training centre in Plassey, Castletroy, Co. Limerick. Again, we were mindful of creating a welcoming space that was suitable for the delivery of training for trainee psychotherapists and play therapists. Our Limerick centre hosts a large training room, three practice play therapy spaces, a library, CTC offices and a kitchen and dining area for students to use. Our administrator Audrey works onsite at CTC Monday to Friday from 9:30am – 1:30pm.
