About the Qualification

A Coaching Diploma Built on a
Proven Recovery Protocol

The CLI LAR Coaching Diploma is the only coaching qualification in the world built entirely on Threat Recalibration Therapy — the methodology that has produced permanent anxiety recovery for over 650,000 people. Unlike CBT-adjacent programmes, it does not teach symptom management. It trains coaches to facilitate complete resolution of anxiety conditions using a precise, evidence-based protocol.

Graduates hold an accredited credential from The Charles Linden Institute and are listed in the official LAR Coach practitioner directory.

Hear From Our Coaches

From the Coaches Themselves

Every member of our LAR coaching team is a CLI Diploma graduate. Many of them recovered from anxiety themselves using Linden Recovery & TRT Therapy before choosing to train as coaches.

"Training with the Charles Linden Institute was the most purposeful thing I have ever done professionally. The methodology is unlike anything else in the field — it gives you a complete, precise framework. There is no guesswork. You know exactly how to help the person in front of you, and you know it works."

Caz

Recovery Coach & Mentor, LAR

Former anxiety sufferer · Fully recovered
"I recovered from health anxiety and panic attacks using Linden Recovery & TRT Therapy, and when the opportunity came to train as a coach, it felt completely natural. The CLI Diploma gave me the professional grounding to take what I had experienced personally and turn it into something I could offer others with real confidence and rigour."
L

Lara

Recovery Coach & Mentor, LAR

Former anxiety sufferer · Fully recovered
"I spent most of my adult life with OCD and health anxiety. After my own recovery, I wanted to give something back. The CLI Diploma was exactly the right vehicle for that. The training is thorough, the support from the team is exceptional, and the work itself is genuinely transformative for the people you coach."
A

Austin

Recovery Coach & Mentor, LAR

Former anxiety sufferer · Fully recovered
"What I value most about the CLI Diploma is that it is built on something that actually works. Every module connects directly to the recovery mechanism — there is a coherence to it that I have not found in any other coaching qualification. The training prepared me completely for what I face with clients every day."

Why Choose CLI

The Only Diploma Built on
What Actually Works

There are hundreds of coaching and counselling diplomas on the market. Most are built on psychological frameworks that produce symptom management at best. The CLI Diploma is different in one fundamental way: it is grounded in a recovery protocol that produces permanent outcomes.

When you qualify as a CLI LAR Coach, you are not teaching clients to cope better. You are facilitating complete, neurological resolution of anxiety. The distinction is not semantic — it is the difference between a career in management and a career in recovery.

That is why our coaches stay. Why they refer. And why the people they coach come back to tell their story to the next person who needs it.

Do I need prior qualifications?

No prior therapy or coaching qualification is required. The CLI Diploma is a complete foundational training — we will teach you everything you need from the ground up. Existing qualifications are welcomed and will complement the programme.

Is it accredited?

The diploma is accredited by The Charles Linden Institute. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with external professional bodies regarding broader accreditation. Please contact us for the latest position if institutional recognition is important to your professional context.

How long does it take?

The programme is self-paced with structured milestones. Most participants complete the diploma within 6–12 months, depending on prior knowledge and time commitment. Supervised practice placement is arranged following module completion.

Can organisations enrol multiple participants?

Yes. We offer group enrolment and bespoke corporate or institutional pathways. Contact us to discuss your organisation's specific needs and we will design a programme accordingly.
