Nanpantan Hall: A Sanctuary for Transformation
Experience the unique power of “retreat-style” learning in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside.
Nanpantan Hall is more than just a training venue; it is the spiritual home of our residential CPCAB Level 4 course. A stunning 19th-century mansion nestled near Loughborough, the Hall offers an atmosphere of profound peace and exclusivity, perfectly suited to the deep, reflective work of becoming a counsellor.
When you choose the Nanpantan Hall cohort, you aren’t just booking a course. You are stepping into a sanctuary designed for growth.
“A really beautiful environment and setting. It really is very conducive to the work that you’re doing. It allows you that space to be reflective, to practice a bit of introspection, and to remove yourself from the hustle and bustle of whichever city you’re based in, and just come to a really beautiful location where you’re surrounded by nature. It’s probably the best part of the course for me.”
A Truly Unique Personal Development Space
Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Charnwood National Forest, Nanpantan Hall stands as a beacon of exclusivity and elegance. This special landscape, characterised by 700-million-year-old volcanic rock outcrops, is said to offer a unique energy, creating a powerful “holding space” for the intensive emotional work of your therapeutic journey.
The historic mansion exudes charm and sophistication, offering a truly unique setting for counselling training in the UK. With its timeless architecture and tranquil ambience, Nanpantan Hall provides an idyllic retreat for aspiring counsellors to immerse themselves in their studies.
With over 35 years of experience, the Hall provides an environment where reflection and learning are part of the very fabric of the building.

“I have done an Intensive Level 2 and 3 with Astranti and have now begun the Residential Level 4. The course materials and Tutors have been fantastic and the location, setting, and comfort of the Residential are top quality. I was very anxious coming into Level 4 and the very knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about Counselling Tutors have very much put me at ease – I look forward to the next two years with Astranti.”
“My experience with Astranti Connect has been first class. From the initial communication, to the online interview and the follow up course materials, it has been a very pleasurable experience. The level of professionalism and course knowledge has been second to none and gives me a feeling of total confidence in the quality and delivery of online courses.”
