How Much Does STILL Method Training Cost? Every Course Explained

This page exists to make that decision simple. It covers every course, what each one costs, who it is genuinely for, and how the pieces fit together. It also explains when the Training Pass makes financial sense and when it probably does not.
No pressure. Just an honest breakdown.

First: what all STILL Method courses have in common
Every course on this page shares the same foundation. The STILL Method is built on a nervous system framework. That means anxiety, grief, sleep problems, burnout, chronic pain and low mood are all understood as nervous system states rather than character flaws or thinking errors.
This matters because it changes how you work with people. You are not trying to talk them out of fear or coach them into a better mindset. You are helping their body understand that the threat has passed. That is a different kind of work, and it is why people who train with us often say the method changed how they understood themselves as much as how they support others.
The STILL Method is accredited at provider level by ACCPH and IPHM. All courses are delivered online, either live on Zoom or self-paced. None require prior coaching or therapy experience. Around half of our coaches are career changers who came from outside coaching and therapy entirely.
The flagship: STILL Method Anxiety Coach Certification
£1,250 children or adults, £1,500 bothThis is where most people start, and for good reason. The anxiety coach certification teaches the complete STILL Method framework across four live days on Zoom or as a self-paced online course. You leave qualified to work with children, teenagers or adults living with anxiety, depending on the route you choose.
It is the most comprehensive training we offer and the one that underpins every other specialism. Many practitioners add further certifications later because the anxiety framework gives everything else context.
This course is right for you if anxiety is the primary focus of the work you want to do. It is also a strong starting point if you are not yet sure which direction to take, because the nervous system framework you learn here applies to almost every other specialism on this page.
ADHD Coaching Practitioner Certification
£1,250, currently £895The ADHD coaching certification trains you to work professionally with ADHD clients using a structured, neurodivergent affirming coaching approach. It covers executive function, emotional dysregulation and nervous system differences. Cohorts run live year round, and a self-paced route is being built alongside them with the same certificate, assessed by recorded practice.
Included in the Training Pass until 10 August 2026. ADHD is currently part of the Pass at no extra cost. After that date it returns to a separate booking.
This is our most requested specialism and for good reason. ADHD is significantly underdiagnosed in women and in adults generally, and demand for nervous system informed ADHD coaching is growing rapidly.
STILL Corporate Wellbeing Coach
£1,995 for the full routeThe corporate wellbeing certification trains you to deliver workplace wellbeing coaching using The STILL Method framework: stress, anxiety, emotional regulation and team resilience in organisational settings.
Corporate is not a standalone course. You qualify as a STILL Coach first, then add the corporate certification on top. The £1,995 covers both steps.
It also licenses you to deliver three ready made programmes: trauma informed manager training, anxiety informed management training, and STILL Shift, our six week team communication and emotional regulation programme. If you want to work with businesses rather than individuals, this is the route. Corporate contracts pay differently to private clients, and the skills involved in working with teams and organisations are distinct from one to one coaching.
Pain Coach Certification
£795The pain coach certification trains you to support clients living with chronic pain using mind body tools, emotional regulation and a structured coaching framework. It covers pain as a nervous system output, neuroplasticity and the emotional drivers of persistent pain.
This is a specialism with very few well trained practitioners in the UK. Most pain support focuses on physical management. A nervous system approach to chronic pain is genuinely different, and the results can be significant for clients who have tried everything else.
Child Grief Coach Practitioner Training
£595The child grief certification is specialist training for working with children and young people through grief, loss and bereavement. It covers child psychology, attachment, adverse childhood experiences and resilience. A complete KS1 to KS4 programme is included, fully aligned to the September 2026 DfE RSHE statutory guidance.
This course is for teachers, SENCOs, school counsellors, residential care workers and coaches who specifically want to work with children. It can be delivered by school staff trained in it, or by independent practitioners offering it to schools as a service.
Grief Coach Practitioner Training
£395The Life After Loss grief coach training prepares you to support adults through bereavement, loss and life after grief. It covers grief models, trauma informed practice and practical coaching tools. Live on Zoom across two days or self-paced online.
This course consistently attracts teachers, support workers, hospice volunteers and people who have experienced significant loss themselves and want to turn that experience into meaningful work. It is one of our most popular standalone certifications.
If grief work with both adults and children interests you, both certifications together cost £990. Both are included in the Training Pass.
Sleep Coach Certification
£395The Restful Reboot sleep coach certification trains you to support adults with chronic insomnia and sleep disorders using CBT-I, hypnotherapy techniques and The STILL Method anxiety framework. Two days live on Zoom or self-paced online.
Sleep coaching is a growing specialism and most providers teach it in isolation. This course is built on the understanding that chronic sleep problems are often anxiety in disguise. If your clients struggle with sleep, they are almost certainly struggling with nervous system dysregulation. This course gives you the tools to work at that level rather than handing clients a sleep hygiene checklist.
Therapeutic Art Practitioner Training
£395The STILL Art certification trains you to facilitate therapeutic art sessions with individuals and groups, using creative practice to support emotional regulation. Two live days on Zoom plus ten hours and more of bonus online content, or entirely self-paced.
You do not need to be an artist. This course teaches a structured method for using creative processes to help people express feelings that words cannot reach. It is particularly effective with children, neurodiverse people and anyone who finds direct conversation about emotions difficult.
STILL Art practitioners are already running sessions in schools, children's homes, older people's services and private practice across the UK. It is one of the only courses in the UK that integrates social stories with therapeutic art.
Emotional Regulation Practitioner Training
£395The emotional regulation course gives you evidence based tools to support children and adults who struggle with emotional dysregulation, overwhelm and behavioural responses to stress. Two live Zoom days or self-paced online.
This is one of the most versatile certifications in the range. Teachers, coaches, therapists and support workers all use it. If you work with children whose behaviour is driven by dysregulation rather than choice, or with adults who cannot access their thinking brain when emotions run high, this course gives you a clear framework for that work.
Low Mood and Emotional Withdrawal Practitioner
£395The low mood certification trains you to support people experiencing depression, emotional shutdown and loss of motivation. It covers behavioural activation, nervous system regulation and compassion focused coaching techniques.
This sits well alongside the anxiety certification because anxiety and low mood often appear together and feed each other. Many practitioners add this as their second course for exactly that reason.
Trauma Informed Practitioner Training
£395The trauma informed certification teaches you to recognise trauma responses and create safe, regulated environments across education, therapy and residential care. Grounded in neuroscience and The STILL Method framework. Two live days online.
This is less a standalone coaching specialism and more a framework that strengthens everything else you do. If you work in schools, children's homes or any setting where trauma is present, this course changes how you read behaviour and how you respond to it.
Burnout Masterclass
£195The burnout masterclass is a one day CPD session that reframes burnout as a physiological and emotional safety response. Evidence informed tools for recognising, addressing and recovering from burnout in yourself and the clients you support.
This is the lowest price point in the range and a good way to experience the STILL Method approach before committing to a full certification. It is also genuinely useful CPD if you work in any high pressure environment.
Courses for already qualified STILL coaches
Four certifications are only open to people who have already qualified as a STILL Coach, so they do not appear on the main courses page. They are all included in the Training Pass.
| Certification | Cost |
|---|---|
| STILL Early Years and Tots | £500 |
| Evolve STILL Life Coach | £495 |
| STILL Mentoring | £295 |
| STILL for Parents | £250 |
So which course should you do first?
The honest answer depends on three things. Who you want to work with. What presenting issues they bring. And whether you want to build broadly or go deep in one area first.
If you want to work with anxious children or adults, start with the anxiety coach certification. It is the most complete training and the framework everything else builds on.
If you want to work specifically with grief, schools or the September RSHE requirement, start with the grief coaching or child grief certification.
If you want to use creative practice to support anxious minds, start with STILL Art.
If you want to work with organisations rather than individuals, the corporate route is the one, though you qualify as a STILL Coach on the way through.
If you are not sure, the anxiety certification is almost never the wrong answer. It gives you the widest foundation and the most flexibility.
When does the Training Pass make sense?
The Training Pass gives you access to every STILL Method certification for £2,100. That is 15 certifications with a combined individual value of £7,990, a saving of £5,890.
It makes clear financial sense if you want two or more of the higher priced certifications, and from three courses onwards it is cheaper almost regardless of which three you pick.
It makes particular sense if you work in a setting where multiple presenting issues appear. Schools, residential care homes, family support services and NHS settings rarely see just one issue at a time. A practitioner with a broad certification portfolio can meet clients wherever they are rather than referring everything outside their narrow specialism.
Two things worth knowing about the Pass. You also get everything we build in the following twelve months, and there is no time limit on completing the courses.
It is less obviously the right choice if you are certain you only want one specialism and have no plans to expand. In that case the individual course is simpler and cheaper.
A note on paying for it
Klarna is available at checkout on every course, including the lowest priced ones, so you can split the cost without arranging anything with us first.
There is also a pay as you go route to the Training Pass. Book individual courses one at a time, and once your cumulative spend reaches £2,100 we give you the full Pass with nothing further to pay. That way you are never penalised for starting small, and you never end up paying more than the Pass price.
If none of that quite works for your situation, email train@thestillmethod.org. We would rather find a way to make it work than have cost be the thing that stops someone from training.
