- Body psychology – this is our comprehensive system for unpacking the meaning of specific symptoms, patterns of behaviour and how they impact the physical body.
- Facilitating change – helping clients uncover the deep seated motivations behind the lifestyle patterns that are affecting their health and wellness. This unit integrates a very powerful counselling approach with body work, and acupressure for resolving these patterns.
- Kinesiology – we use kinesiology to help connect mind and body.
- Chinese Medicine theory – forms an important part of the intellectual base for mind body medicine. Learn Chinese diagnostic methods, the 5 elements and Ba Gua constitutions, the deep flows of the meridians, points for improving many different conditions and unique methods for balancing meridians.

When I decided to study Kinesiology, it was important to me that I had the best education possible. I did a lot of research and decided that the College of Complementary Medicine was the only option.
I started studying with CCM when I was already working as a Psychotherapist when I realised I needed more than simply ‘Talk Therapy’ to support my clients needs. In my prior training we had not really explored Expressive Therapies or the power role of the Transpersonal but CCM offered the perfect integration of both.
The Transpersonal Counselling Advanced Diploma course has changed my lifestyle, my relationships and my personal and professional goals in life. I now teach Yoga with a different and improved perspective and hold space for my students to incorporate yogic techniques while maintaining a connection to their heart and embracing their own unique rhythm.
The college really is at the cutting edge area of health. It’s quiet frankly an education that is second to none.
The incredible camaraderie and sense of community encouraged at CCM goes beyond the classroom to faculty management and administration. I haven’t experienced this sense of belonging at any other college and found that it made learning so much more enjoyable and valuable.
