Persona Training and Development was set up in 1995 as a learning and development organisation in the area of Inter-Personal Relationships and Counselling. In 1996 Persona established a Diploma Programme in Counselling and the first cohort of students completed their studies in May 1998. The course was then eligible to apply to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) for professional accreditation which it received. Currently the sixth diploma is being delivered and the BACP re-accreditation (every 5 years) has also been achieved successfully. In 2007 the course was accredited by Stirling University as a Post-Graduate Diploma.

This course provides an advanced training programme in the Person Centred approach for those who wish to build on previous counselling skills training and/or relevant experience. It provides students with an opportunity to engage in professional and personal development to the standard that BACP sets for professionally accredited counsellors.

The course was designed to suit people who have commitments during the week which would make weekly attendance difficult and for that reason most of the course takes place at weekends or week-long blocks over two years. The programme benefits from being largely residential allowing regular periods of intense and focused work as well as allowing students to spend some time relaxing with others on the course; both are important.
