Maybe you’ve experienced bereavement, or more than one, of someone important in your life? Or maybe it is your marriage that has died, you’ve separated from your romantic partner or you’ve become estranged from a family member or friend. All of these life events are emotionally painful and can leave us feeling stuck, unhappy and in emotional pain.
This is where Edu-Therapy™ can be extremely helpful. Edu-Therapy™ is a “cognitive behavioural model” – essentially this means that we teach you how to acknowledge and let go of the emotional pain. We achieve this together through a series of steps taken over the course of our 8-session programme. Most unresolved emotional pain or grief is the result of undelivered emotional communications: “I wish I’d said…” or “I wish I hadn’t said” or “I wish I’d done / hadn’t done”.
This wishing that things were different can keep us stuck on a hamster wheel of pain, with thoughts going round our heads like “what if…” “if only…” and “why.” Once you’ve learned the steps of how to stop these questions, the healing can begin. This allows you to then embrace your life as it is, even if it isn’t what you planned or would have chosen for yourself.
Edu-Therapy™ is only available from Certified Edu-Therapy™ Specialists, either on an individual basis or in groups (please note not all Specialists offer group programmes). Specialists will work with you either in-person or online via Zoom or Teams. If you work individually the sessions are approximately 90 minutes long and group sessions are approximately 2 hours long. You need to attend all sessions for the programme to work, as it is a course where you are learning step-by-step how to help yourself, rather than just talking about your thoughts and emotions.
If you are willing to attend an entire course and invest in your own emotional well being then Edu-Therapy™ can be incredibly powerful in releasing all the hurt.
While most people who seek our help are adults, we can work with young people aged 13 and above (please note not all Specialists work with minors). The programme can help with any type of emotional loss but if you are unsure, please do get in touch and we can advise.
Who is it NOT for?
If you are looking for traditional talking therapy, or are struggling with something other than emotional pain and loss, Edu-Therapy™ specialists or training courses won’t be right for you.
How soon can I get started?
As soon as you’re ready to do some work to help yourself feel better. There is no reason to wait.
Is it ever too late to start?
Not at all. The oldest person Carole worked with was in her 80s and we talked about a loss she had when she was 7. Sadly she was living the truth that time does not heal! The good news was that she didn’t need to live another day in pain after working with us.
How do I know it will help?
Edu-Therapy™ was developed in Canada, has been well established there for many years and is based on evidence. Carole Henderson brought it to the UK in 2022 and it is growing rapidly.

The Edu-Therapy™ Process is a two-phase cognitive behavioural model that:
- Rapidly accesses and identifies conflicting emotions
- Provides concrete easy to use steps that decrease the disturbing emotional intensity
- Is easily repeatable, once learned, so grieving people can easily repeat the process on their own or in a clinical setting
- Moves those struggling with emotional pain from being stuck in the past, into the present
- Teaches healthy emotional coping skills
