Iron Mill College

When climate impact feels overwhelming, remember little and often is better than perfection.

Who are you when the mask comes off? 🎭

Join Iron Mill College lecturer Caroline Barratt for an adults-only, after-hours evening at RAMM (Royal Albert Memorial Museum), inspired by the Grayson Perry exhibition.

Caroline will be exploring the fascinating psychology of identity, focusing on:
🎭 The Authentic Self – Finding the real "you."
🎭 Masking – Why we hide parts of ourselves.
🎭 Strategic Authenticity – Navigating how we show up in the world.

Beyond her talk, Caroline is hosting a creative activity to help you explore your own identity through art. The night also features spoken word, live music, and hands-on textile and clay workshops!

Who was your favorite speaker from our conference?

What an incredible day! 🌟

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us last Saturday for the South West Counselling and Psychotherapy Conference 2026. The energy in the room was profound, filled with deep reflection, challenging conversations, and much-needed connection.

Here is a first look at some of the photos from the day and some of your feedback.

Stay tuned—we have more photos and videos from the event coming soon!

If you have completed your initial counselling certificate online and are ready to take the next step toward our advanced courses, we have developed a specific weekend for you.

Because our advanced training requires face-to-face experience, we created this certificate to provide the practical skills you need to move forward. Hosted at our Poole campus this April, the weekend is a chance to develop your basic skills, enhance your self-awareness, and participate in a supportive group environment.

It is a simple way to bridge the gap between online study and the in-person practice required for professional growth.
