What Will You Learn?

Discover the Science and Spirituality of Colour

You’ll begin by exploring the origins of Colour Therapy, from ancient roots to modern-day applications. You’ll learn about the electromagnetic nature of light, how we perceive colour, and how coloured rays interact with our energy field. The course explains the seven coloured cosmic rays and introduces you to the metaphysical aspects of light, including the subtle body and different etheric planes.

Understand the Healing Power of Colour

Dive into how different colours affect the body, mind, and emotions. You’ll explore the emotional and physical effects of warm and cool colours, and discover how colour can influence mood, health, and energy. The course also guides you in identifying your personal colour season—helping you make more intentional choices in clothing, surroundings, and daily rituals.

You’ll learn how colour links to the seven chakras and how to balance them for optimal wellbeing. You’ll also explore meridians and energy pathways, and how colour can help restore balance and harmony in the body.

Integrate Colour into Therapeutic Practice

From natural light exposure to the direction and tone of light, you’ll gain insight into how colour can be applied in therapeutic settings. You’ll also explore how colour works with other holistic tools, such as:

Art Therapy: For emotional expression and creative healing
Aromatherapy: Combining scent and colour to enhance energetic alignment
Aura Soma and Colour Cards: For intuitive healing and spiritual growth

You’ll also be introduced to the use of colour as a diagnostic and reflective tool based on colour psychology—helping you assess and support clients effectively.

Learn Techniques and Build a Practice

Throughout the course, you’ll gain hands-on knowledge of a wide range of colour healing techniques you can use for yourself or your clients. You'll also build essential foundational counselling skills, helping you develop deeper empathy and communication within client relationships.

Planning to start your own Colour Therapy practice? We’ll guide you through everything you need to know—from setting up your space and branding your business, to attracting clients and offering meaningful services. You'll also explore the different types of colour therapy offerings available, so you can build a practice that aligns with your passion.

Anyone interested in improving their or others' lives through colour therapy will gain a lot from this course, as the knowledge and techniques can be applied to themselves, friends, and family members.

The Colour Therapy Diploma Course will be of particular benefit to students who are considering a career in this area or those who wish to add this to their existing holistic business, as the course covers, not only information on colour therapy itself but how to start and grow a business, as well as how to interact with clients and provide effective sessions with them.
