CCST is the most established college of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Europe - currently in its 35th year. This is reflected in the experience of the tutor team, the well established support structure for the students – including a Teaching Clinic, regular Study Groups, Tutorials – and a wide network of previous graduates throughout the UK and in many other countries. The approach to Cranio-Sacral Therapy at CCST is Integrated Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Within the field of Cranio-Sacral Therapy there are different approaches, ranging from those which work primarily with the inherent healing forces of nature (sometimes described as biodynamic and seen as being more abstract) to those which are more orientated to the application of techniques (sometimes described as biomechanical and seen as being more grounded in basic sciences). CCST is distinctive in that it integrates all of these concepts to provide a comprehensive professional training with a broad approach that can respond more effectively to each patient according to his or her needs. The course is fundamentally biodynamic in nature, and also incorporates a wide spectrum of resources in order to expand the practitioner’s perspective, enhance therapeutic effectiveness, and enable most effective clinical practice, as well as providing a firm grounding in knowledge and clinical experience. The founder and principal Thomas Attlee DO RCST was the first teacher of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in the UK and is the author of the foundation volume “Cranio-Sacral Integration”. The college is accredited by the Cranio-Sacral Therapy Association. Graduates are eligible to use the letters RCST after their names. Approximately half the Registered Cranio-Sacral Therapists in the UK are graduates of CCST. The College offers a variety of trainings to suit different needs:

Cranio-Sacral Therapy:
1-year Diploma Course.
2-year Diploma Course - Weekend Format. Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology:
A certificated pre-Diploma foundation course

Post Graduate courses:
A variety of Post-Graduate trainings is available

There is also a clinic at the Centre for Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Primrose Hill, London NW1 8XE, offering a wide range of alternative therapies, and including a Low Cost Teaching Clinic, with treatments from £15. http://on.fb.me/1C4nwPD

shares “Fascial care was once considered peripheral, optional, even alternative.

Today, it is rapidly becoming central because science is revealing what the body has always known: health is found in integrated systems.

Fascia is the connective medium that binds those systems together, translating mechanical load into neural signals, emotional states into tissue tone, and biochemical signals into structure.

When fascia is hydrated, elastic, and responsive, movement is efficient, perception is clear, and the nervous system remains adaptable.”

shares: “Co-regulation isn’t venting to someone or getting advice.⁠
⁠
It’s your nervous system detecting safety cues from another regulated person and shifting out of survival mode because of it.⁠
⁠
It’s not about what you say, it’s about what your bodies are communicating beneath conscious awareness.⁠
⁠
And most of us have far less access to this than our nervous systems actually need ❤️”

Cranio-sacral Therapy is a powerful resource for co-regulation and it enhances the body’s natural healing ability, restoring health and integration of body, mind and spirit. It can enhance health in any circumstances - from new born babies to the elderly, from birth patterns, injury, illness, severe trauma, and all the many stresses and strains of life, both physical and emotional, often resolving issues that are not helped by other means. It is a profoundly transformative process.

The College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CCST) is the most established college of CST, leading the field in Cranio-Sacral Therapy, with over 40 years’ experience of training Cranio-Sacral Therapists in the UK and internationally.

We’re creating the conditions where reorganization can happen on its own.

When force is removed, the system can begin to reorient towards the innate health that lies beneath dysfunction 🤍“

writes: “Craniosacral therapy invites the body into a quieter, more regulated state where natural healing processes can re-emerge. Through gentle contact, we meet the nervous system where it is—supporting release, restoring balance, and reconnecting the whole person.

Many people are surprised by how subtle the work is, yet how deeply it can influence tension patterns, emotional holding, and long-standing discomfort. Rather than imposing change, we create the conditions for the system to reorganise itself.

Whether receiving or learning the work, CST offers a pathway to greater ease, presence, and connection with ourselves and those around us.”

Working with the fascia offers an extraordinarily valuable therapeutic process, often with far-reaching repercussions. It can be pivotal in supporting recovery from musculo-skeletal injuries, relieving chronic pain and restriction, addressing emotional tension, assisting in the integration of profound trauma, and enhancing overall body-mind coherence. For many practitioners, fascial work becomes a key element in their approach — an entry point to deeper listening, more subtle engagement, and more effective outcomes.

In 2026, the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy is offering a comprehensive fascia-focused training programme designed to introduce and deepen practical skills in Fascial Unwinding. These courses will be highly practical and interactive, offering both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience.

The training will be led by Thomas Attlee, principal of the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy, presenting an approach to fascial work that is not generally available elsewhere.

shares: “The nervous system is woven through the fascial web that surrounds every organ, muscle, and vessel.

This connective matrix is the body’s most densely innervated sensory organ, carrying a constant stream of mechanical, chemical, and vibrational information to the brain.

But as fascia stiffens, dehydrates, or loses glide, the quality of this sensory input declines, and the nervous system shifts toward defense rather than regulation….

The autonomic system responds by increasing sympathetic tone and reinforcing patterns of protection. What begins as local stiffness becomes a global shift in neural behavior, altering breath, coordination, and emotional regulation.
…
Restoring fascial elasticity and hydration returns precision to the system. Activating mechanoreceptors downshifts sympathetic output and improves vagal tone.“
