Voice Dialogue Facilitator Training is for coaches, therapists, trainers and health practitioners who want to use an extraordinary transformational process as a stand alone technique or as an adjunct to their current skills in supporting clients’ growth. Voice Dialogue Facilitator Training teaches facilitation skills alongside the Psychology of the Selves and Psychology of the Aware Ego, which reveals the profound space of potentiality and presence that emerges through facilitation.
Having different selves is normal. We all hear different voices in our head. One voice says we should go for a swim and the other says we should stay at work and catch up on emails. It depends which one you listen to as to what decision you’ll make. We all have different parts of our personality, which come out at different times. We are in one mode when we are at work, another when we are playing with kids, another with our partner and another when preparing for a dinner party. We move between these modes every day without noticing. However, these modes are often repetitive responses to situations that bring out the same unhelpful behaviour time and time again.
For example, have you or your clients noticed that they always feel anxious when someone around them is grumpy? Or do they notice that they start fretting if the towels in the airing cupboard aren’t perfectly folded? Or do they habitually think things that go wrong are all their fault? Or can they never switch off, even when on holiday?
That’s because these modes, or selves, are actually running them without their awareness. Each self has an agenda, a belief system, a physiology, desires and fears. Most people don’t have awareness of these selves without special training.
Voice Dialogue is the name given by Drs Hal and Sidra Stone who developed it, to the facilitation process which allows clients to become aware of these limiting selves or sub-personalities. Some common ones are the Pleaser, Pusher, Perfectionist, Inner Critic, Protector Controller, Responsible Self, Rulemaker to name a few.
Voice Dialogue allows clients to become aware of these sub-personalities and then learn new ways of separating from their agendas, desires and responses so that they can regain real choice. Imagine if your clients (or perhaps even you!) could feel relaxed if someone was grumpy around them rather than all anxious. Or if they could walk past an untidy airing cupboard without batting an eyelid. Or if they knew that things just go wrong sometimes and that not everything is their fault. Or that they finally learned to switch off and relax at home as well as on holiday.
Voice Dialogue Training is a unique opportunity to learn how your clients’ personalities are structured and how they function in a small, personally supervised group with Annie. This understanding will allow you to support them to greatly enhance their relationships, communication, creativity and intuition as well as to giving them a fascinating new perspective on their experience. Your clients will develop within them a centred, aware space from which they can effectively and easily direct all areas of their life. This process is a profound consciousness expanding tool and as such is suitable for well adjusted clients who wish to enhance their daily experience. It is not suitable for clients in crisis or who are not functional.
Voice Dialogue gives clients the tools to do all of this and much more. Unpeeling the layers of these sub-personalities is just the beginning. It’s like peeling the layers of an onion. Examining the layers is really just to put them to one side. The core of the onion is where we are heading. From there a profound emergence of awareness unfolds, allowing clients to find who they really are below their habitual patterns and concerns. This is known as the ‘Aware Ego Process’.
This process is therefore not just about reframing another way of seeing a challenge, but that it is who is seeing that challenge needs to change! This work actually allows a deep shift in identity. For example if your client thinks that they are never good enough and always fails at things, it might be that they are looking at the world through the Perfectionist’s glasses. It’s like looking through red lenses you’d swear that everything is red and can’t see any other colours. The Perfectionist is only looking for perfection and rating everything against that! It’s not just that they need to see that they are still a valuable person even if they are not perfect, but they get to realise like It was just the Perfectionist that they were looking through! From the viewpoint of the Aware Ego life is full of all the other colours and possibilities. This is a radical shift that is hard to describe, but profound to experience. People often describe being facilitated like ‘coming out of jail’!
However, as well as giving great benefits to your clients, Voice Dialogue Training also provides you with the following advantages:
- Use Voice Dialogue to understand and diagnose clients’ challenges
- Bring acceptance and understanding to all aspects of your clients’ selves
- Reduce your reactivity to triggers in professional practice
- Effect rapid and profound change with even challenging clients
- Increase your understanding of the human condition and develop increased compassion
- Increase your range of personal expression across all areas of your life
- Improve relationships and communication
- Enhance your ability to work with people’s different selves in general life
- Reduce judgment and intolerance of others
- Increase your ability to hold a space for clients irrespective of what they bring to sessions
- Add an incredible tool to your tool-belt that will enhance your coaching business
This course will be a deep transformational journey for you as well as your clients. You will be facilitating each other throughout the programme and so will be making profound shifts as we work through the different selves. You’ll need to have the space to dive deep into your own transformation, so this course won’t be suitable for anyone having major life challenges currently.
Voice Dialogue Facilitator Training is taught in a small, exclusive group across four foundation weekend workshops which will teach you the skills of Voice Dialogue facilitation, plus allow for your own deep inner transformation. Most of our participants then go onto an advanced mentoring programme for further professional development. Each Voice Dialogue Training workshop starts with an informal Friday evening primer session where you will get clear on your intentions, discuss case studies and have your questions answered. As well as attending the live events, you will be expected to read and view supportive materials, plus do 12 practice sessions which you will receive feedback on from Annie. There will be 3 online Q&A calls in between workshops with Annie plus you’ll get access to a closed Facebook group for additional support. You will also receive our ‘Know your Selves’ quiz which you can give to your clients to get them intrigued about what their highest and lowest scoring selves are! You’ll need to plan to have around 2 hours a week available for the practice sessions and content study videos.
All four weekend workshops will be held at The Lighthouse, Tytherington, near Frome in Somerset. There also happens to be the wonderful gluten free and dairy free Cafe Nouveau on site where Susan makes just the best GF, DF chocolate torte ever! There is a swimming pool opposite too and membership is included during your stay. You can book your own accommodation on-site or there are many other options locally.
The Lighthouse is a beautiful 17th century guest house set on 30 acres is a peaceful venue which will encourage a deep dive into your own transformation and study.
Beautiful venue – in the heart of the Somerset countryside, 30 acres of peace and tranquility for complete immersion.
Wonderful gluten and dairy free lunches, snacks and cakes from the exceptional Café Nouveau. Enjoy membership to the nearby swimming pool during your stay.
Rest and recharge – in beautiful rooms with everything you need for a very comfortable stay.

There is also a list of alternate accommodation nearby if you’d rather stay off-site.
Here’s the Course Programme:

Voice Dialogue develops an awareness of your inner selves and their functioning in your life which can enable you to release past patterning and integrate whole new ways of being.

Over the weekend we will be covering:
- Getting to know sub-personalities

The course will give you the opportunity for comfortable self exploration and learning as well as developing facilitation skills for you to use at home. The information and techniques you will learn can enhance your daily experiences, enabling you to bring true choice and awareness into your reactions and decisions, thereby giving you a real experience of your own personal power and creativity.
This workshop is suitable for anyone committed to their own growth as well as giving you the skills to begin using Voice Dialogue with a friend or partner in preparation for working with clients.
Level Two – Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th October 2025
In this workshop we will explore how the Aware Ego process frees us from the patterning and restrictions we have so far lived through. You will be learning about the hidden structure of relationship dynamics, whether personal or business and how this information can start to really free you and your clients from the old habits of reactivity and blame. You will get clarity on how our primary and disowned selves impact our choice of partners and friends. You will learn amazing ways to unravel your clients’ relationship challenges and give them new tools to create healthy connections.

- Causes of negative bonding patterns
- Inner parenting
- Development of the Aware Ego process
- Facilitating in relationships
- Facilitating a critical partner or colleague

Level Three – Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th November 2025
In this workshop you will be expanding your facilitation skills. You will be learning about the sometimes debilitating opinions of the inner critic and how it can keep your clients completely stuck within its confines. Discover essential ways to successfully unhook from the Inner Critic’s voice so that you can help your clients explore the truth of who they really are. You will also learn how to do Body Dialogue for those clients who may suffer from difficult to solve physical symptoms.

Level Four – Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December 2025
In this workshop you will be expanding your facilitation skills set so that you can become more effective and more confident in working with clients. You will learn how to do powerful Dream Dialogue to unlock the answers that may be hidden in clients’ dreams. You will also be exploring your instinctual Disowned Selves. This deep personal work allows you to be able to facilitate many more aspects of clients you may work with as well as to become a richer and deeper human being. The more parts of yourself you have explored, the more effectively you can hold a space for clients to explore theirs.
You will be exploring how to work with:
- Dream Dialogue for unlocking symbols of the inner landscape
- Balancing the opposites
- Deepening the Aware Ego process
- Do’s and Don’ts in clinical practice

This workshop will give you the skills and confidence to hold the space for deeper exploration of your clients’ hidden selves. The more you have explored these in yourself, the greater your ability to remain clear and present for clients and for those around you. You will find a new level of inner freedom and outer expression.

Annie’s dear late mentor Michael Rowland, author of ‘Absolute Happiness’, said that Voice Dialogue was the single most important technique he learnt in 40 years of study into the mind and the one that allowed him to have such a successful career and marriage. Annie had the great privilege of working closely with him for a decade as she toured around Australia, New Zealand and America with him as his event manager. Michael always included information about Voice Dialogue and the Psychology of Selves in his wonderful workshops. Annie would then go back to many of the cities they visited to teach Voice Dialogue Training as there was such a demand for further information about sub-personalities. She also ran a very successful private practice in Perth, Australia for ten years running sessions and training in Voice Dialogue. This practice ran without any advertising, entirely on word of mouth due to the popularity and efficacy of Voice Dialogue.
