The NCHP's
regular Course Tutors are all graduates of the NCHP, and thus able to empathise
(and sympathise) with students under tuition. They are all experienced
therapists, members of the NRHP with considerable teaching experience, the
majority with formal teaching qualifications. This background facilitates a
pastoral and supervisory relationship with their students, in addition to the
Tutorial role. They are not full‑time employees of the NCHP, but are paid for
teaching undertaken on a contractual basis. Brief biographical details of Course
