About us

Around here, we do things a little bit differently…

The Mentor Training — Three women connecting by touching hands wearing colourful clothes.

We practice what we preach!

We believe that everyone has the ability to teach, care for and help others.

Traditional counselling, coaching and the business models that fuel them are built on standards that lack integrity.

The Mentor Training is built on equality, inclusivity and a flexible human-centred approach to teaching and running our organisation.

Our team of three have come together as a cooperative where all of us equally own and govern every aspect of the organisation.

We decide together as a team what we produce and offer, how we do it and what we do with the profits to ensure the organisation is truly accountable to those we serve. No one is on top, but instead, we are all equal members who have chosen to take on certain responsibilities that draw on our natural abilities, strengths and experience.

“If leadership serves only the leader, it will fail”
— Sheila Bethel
