The cdc Lounge
A membership space for counsellors seeking connection, tools, and growth.
Counselling is powerful work...
But it can also be isolating, overwhelming, and hard to balance with the demands of running a practice.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I love what I do, but I feel alone trying to grow this business.”
“I want to create new income streams, but I don’t know where to start.”
“The online business advice I see doesn’t fit the world of counselling.”
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to do this alone either.
💛 Welcome to The CDC Lounge
Creating Dependable Change (CDC) is more than a business philosophy — it’s a supportive, empowering approach to building a practice that fits you.
The CDC Lounge is a membership space created exclusively for counsellors who want to:
Grow their income without burnout
Build confidence in the business side of counselling
Connect with a like-minded community
Access real tools that make a real difference

"I would highly recommend this course to any therapists"
"The Counsellors CPD course was excellent. We learnt how to structure our course, how to create it and how to market it. I found the tech side of things particularly helpful. Andrea is lovely - very supportive and approachable. I would highly recommend this course to any therapists who want to diversify their work." - Annabel Nicholls

"This course is excellent for anyone, wherever they are on their course creation journey. In just 6 sessions I gained so much knowledge and always looked forward to our weekly meetings" - Diane Reynolds
"I really enjoyed the course"
"I really enjoyed the course and it helped me to realise that I could put together and successfully sell my own CPD, that it wasn't some foreign language I'd never understand! I really appreciate the way Andrea presents things and the information was clear and helpful. I also really enjoyed the opportunity to connect with other counsellors on this topic." - Beth
