Online Specialist Training and CPD for Counsellors & Psychotherapists

Our courses are designed to fit your professional development needs, whether you're seeking to expand your expertise or explore new areas of practice.
Who Are Inspire CPD?
Inspire CPD began life in 2017. Lynsey and Sally first met when Sally was delivering Pre Trial Therapy training to Rape Crisis where Lynsey worked and then enjoyed running some survivor workshops together. Bonding over a love of learning and teaching
others , the idea for Inspire CPD came about. Initially the business was set up for face to face training – starting out in a humble church hall in Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, before expanding to posher premises in central Nottingham, and then going online from 2021.
In 2025 Lynsey took the decision to retire and delivered her last training in March 2026. Sally has decided to continue to run the business, delivering training courses alone or with an associate.
