Exploring Sound in Wellbeing Practice
Professional Development Series
CPD Certified Training
Working with Groups forms part of the Sound for Wellbeing Professional Development Series.
Programme Overview
Format
- Two practical training days
- One integration session
- Three supported group case studies
Entry
- Level 1 – Sound for Wellbeing (or equivalent experience)
Award
- CPD Certificate of Completion (upon successful completion)
Outcome
- Knowledge, practical skills and confidence to facilitate group sound experiences within an appropriate scope of practice
Develop the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to begin facilitating professional group sound experiences within an appropriate scope of practice.
This CPD practitioner development programme is designed for those who wish to develop the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to facilitate sound within group settings.
Building upon the foundations introduced in Level 1 – Sound for Wellbeing, the programme develops professional awareness, practical application and responsive group facilitation.
The emphasis is not on performance or fixed techniques, but on listening, participant experience, group facilitation, and reflective practice.
Participants explore how sound may be introduced, structured, and adapted within group settings in ways that are thoughtful, appropriate, and responsive to those attending.
Recommended Progression
This programme is recommended for those who have already completed Level 1 – Sound for Wellbeing, or who have equivalent experience.
Level 1 provides the foundation upon which this practitioner development programme builds, allowing participants to move from personal practice towards facilitating sound experiences with groups.
About This Training
Working with groups involves much more than learning how to play instruments.
It involves understanding how sound is experienced within a shared environment, recognising that people respond differently, and developing the confidence to facilitate experiences with sensitivity, awareness, and professional judgement.
Throughout the programme, participants develop confidence through practical exploration, guided facilitation, observation, reflective discussion, and supported application.
The focus is on facilitating meaningful group experiences rather than delivering predetermined outcomes.

Entry Requirements
This programme is intended for those who have successfully completed Level 1 – Sound for Wellbeing, or who can demonstrate an equivalent foundation in sound-based wellbeing practice.
Participants should feel comfortable exploring sound within their own personal practice and be ready to begin developing the knowledge, practical skills and confidence required to facilitate group sound experiences within an appropriate scope of practice.
Previous experience of working with groups may be beneficial, but is not essential. A willingness to learn through supported practice, reflect on your facilitation and continue developing your confidence is central to this programme.
Learning Outcome
By the end of this programme, participants will have developed the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to:
-
Design, facilitate and reflect upon group sound experiences, including guided sound relaxation experiences.
- Work safely within a defined scope of practice.
- Apply sound within existing professional roles.
- Reflect on and develop their facilitation through supported practice and mentoring.
This training forms part of a wider professional development pathway. For those who wish to explore specific areas of practice in greater depth, bespoke mentoring, specialist practitioner development and diploma-level study are available as optional next steps.
Professional Scope of Practice
This programme prepares participants to facilitate group sound experiences and sound bath sessions within an appropriate scope of practice.

This programme does not qualify participants as Therapeutic Sound Practitioners or Sound Therapists, nor does it prepare participants for one-to-one therapeutic practice. Those wishing to develop practitioner-level skills, including one-to-one work and more advanced professional practice, may wish to progress to the Level 3 Sound & Wellbeing Practitioner Diploma.
