We have a gifting agreement that provides for a Chair in Evidence-based Psychological Treatments and the clinical training and education that is delivered by the Charlie Waller Institute.

Launched in January 2008, the Charlie Waller Institute:

• Trains clinicians in evidence-based psychological treatments, in particular those recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
• Evaluates the effectiveness of the training to ensure it improves the clinicians’ knowledge and skills and patient outcomes.
• Undertakes research to add to the evidence base for effective psychological treatments.

Training at the Charlie Waller Institute takes the form of postgraduate part-time year-long courses (diploma and certificate) and one or two day accredited clinical workshops and seminars. They are delivered by world-renowned expert clinicians who have been involved in developing and evaluating the treatments in research trials.

The Caroline Gilbey Scholarship

Caroline was a very great friend to the Trust as well as a personal friend of the Wallers and worked tirelessly on the Trust’s London Fundraising Committee. Her friends and family raised a large sum of money in her memory which has been used to fund two scholarships at the Charlie Waller Institute, training therapists in high intensity psychological treatments.

Hewa Khalilifar, 2021 scholarship recipient

"I feel that a career as a therapist will allow me to continue learning about human nature, to hear people’s stories, and ultimately be of service to others. I want to be the person that I needed back when I was in a difficult place. Sometimes it is as simple as telling someone that it is okay for them to feel intensity of emotion and confusion, and convincing them that you believe they have the ability to endure and overcome."
