“Studying a Counselling Skills course has enabled me to further my career in a helping role by developing the core skills and self-awareness to work on empowering clients. I have found working part-time in a related job and studying part-time important for me as I can keep sharpening the skills learnt on the course. The course has allowed me to find areas for personal development and work towards improving these. I feel I have developed the ability to speak openly and publicly with confidence. I have gained a deeper sense of self-awareness. I have a greater understanding of how my past influences who I am today.” Daniel Bains

“I aspire to become a Counselling Psychologist in the future and so taking this course would provide me with one of the requirements needed for that. However, this course has proved to be much more than just obtaining a requirement. This course has given me an insightful introduction into the world of counselling, and has challenged and transformed my idea of what it means to be a counsellor. It’s been so valuable being able to learn about, and practise core counselling skills, especially as I’ve been able to utilise them in my volunteer work. The learning environment is great too; it’s relaxed, engaging, and I feel like I’m a part of a team. I’d definitely recommend this course to others – you will take away some really insightful lessons about yourself and the world which is something anyone from any field should experience.” Gabrielle Browne
