Cascade North: Rydal Hall

Why Rydal Hall?
Cascade Associates are pleased to be able to offer the Diploma in the stunning setting of Rydal Hall. Rydal Hall offers a peaceful retreat and an environment which is dedicated to providing excellent food and service. Nestled in the heart of the Lake District Rydal is a very picturesque area of mountains, lakes and forests with fabulous scenery and many places to visit, walk to, or just relax in the spectacular grounds.
The two, week long courses mean there is time for both walking and reflection within the training day as well as time to enjoy the scenery and the relaxing ambience of the beautiful Hall and gardens. If you feel pressured at work, find it hard to let go, this is the 'restorative' choice for you. This is is a superb opportunity for some working 'Rest and Relaxation'!

    Why I chose Cascade and two residential weeks.

    Although I live in the south, I opted for Cascade North course as undertaking two weeks of study fitted well with my personal commitments and I was able to obtain study leave. This meant I could truly give my attention to my learning whilst being surrounded by the peace and beauty of the landscape.
    Alison Diffley, London

    Even though Cascade Training involved two weeks residential study and travel, I found the overall cost was less than two other courses I considered. Two weeks meant less travel, and required me to be away less from work and included the text book cost. In addition the course is highly reputable and with a high student tutor ration and based on the original courses of Francesca Inskipp and Brigid Proctor. This course ‘fitted the bill’ for both myself and my employer.

    I would have no hesitation in recommending this course to anyone I felt had the counselling experience to undertake it. I have really enjoyed the entire experience. Ian Major, Belfast

    Excellent experience that I would recommend all potential supervisors.
    Karen Gray, Co Offally


    Great tutors thoughtful and fun, with attention to detail, compassionate engagement and the space to really learn on many levels.
    Philippa Smethurst, London


    An incredibly intense experiential learning experience. I cannot quite believe how well the course structure has helped me to integrate the theory and practice of individual and group supervision.
