The College of Cranio-Sacral TherapyCCST is the most established college of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Europe. 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, providing a comprehensive professional training covering the full spectrum of approaches, with a fundamental appreciation of the biodynamic nature of the therapeutic process, combined with a firm grounding in knowledge and understanding. Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a gentle, but exceptionally profound process, and this approach takes us to the deepest levels of our being, whilst maintaining a firm grounding in day-to-day clinical application. The College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy was founded in 1986 and is now based in Primrose Hill, London NW1 where there is also a College Clinic. The Founder and Principal of the College is Thomas Attlee. Thomas graduated from the European School of Osteopathy, where cranial work was an integral part of the four year training. He taught Anatomy, Physiology and Western Medicine at the International College of Oriental Medicine for seven years, taught Yoga for several years and has been integrating various therapies, psycho-therapeutic processes, meditation techniques and developmental processes for over 30 years.
Thomas has been a pioneer in the field of Cranio-Sacral Therapy, establishing the first college in Europe, and developing his own individual approach of Integrated Cranio-Sacral Therapy. The result is a very comprehensive training, covering a wide spectrum of approaches, appreciating the importance of structural, bio-energetic, biodynamic, and emotional concepts, in developing a more complete understanding of human nature and health. The CCST approach is not limited to any particular model - preferring a more flexible approach which enables access to the deepest levels of being, whilst maintaining a clear grounding in clinical practice. This comprehensive integrated approach provides CCST graduates with an exceptionally profound training, together with the resources to respond more appropriately to each and every patient according to his or her needs.

The approach to Cranio-Sacral Therapy at the College is founded in this rich variety of experience. The training is grounded in the work of William Sutherland, exploring the fundamental concepts of an underlying vitality - expressed as the Breath of Life - which creates and maintains our health and well-being, and which is expressed through the fluids, membranes, bones and other tissues of the body. It incorporates the subsequent concepts of Rollin Becker, James Jealous, and John Upledger, and other modern developments in the field, and continues to evolve and progress through Thomas Attlee's broad-based and comprehensive approach.
The College is accredited by the Cranio-Sacral Therapy Association of the United Kingdom, and is also constantly involved in the process of further accreditation within both the UK and Europe.
