The cost does not include your return travel or transfers to the Ardtornish Estate, Scotland
-
Where will I be staying?

-
Do I need to have participated in psychological work before?
No, you don’t need to have participated in therapy or coaching before, and for many participants it will have been their first time in a group programme. Your initial consultation call is a good opportunity to explore how The Breakthrough Process works, and whether the approach feels like a good fit for you.
-
What type of challenge can I bring to the programme?
One problem in life tends to impact several areas of life, so it’s rare participants arrive with just one challenge.
You are welcome to bring one or multiple challenges to any of our programmes. Our expert team will help guide you to gain clarity on each of your challenges and help you to better understand better the forces that underpin them, ultimately leading you to new perspectives and actionable change.
-
How do I get to Ardtornish?
Ardtornish is an approx XXX drive from Inverness airport or train station. We also connect up all participants ahead of time to organise shared car hire or transfers where this is useful.
-
What should I bring/pack?
Once your place is confirmed on the programme, we send a packing list to all participants.
