Counselling courses with a difference – our unique perspective

We believe that the counselling experience must be one of trust, openness and risk. Also the willingness to explore oneself with someone you feel is safe, has the capacity to empathise and above all, is authentic.

The training experience of a counsellor must be the same. It is here, we believe, that true counselling happens – when counsellors themselves face the issues and possibilities of their own lives. It is from this unique perspective that we train counsellors.

For us, counselling is not only an academic exercise – it is an experience of heart and soul and warmth and a capacity for relationship. Our learning environment is about bringing out those qualities in both students & trainers.

We believe that these qualities are not only important for counsellors but also for business executives, teachers, human resources managers and health workers.

We invite you on the journey of a lifetime. The road less travelled – an adventure through your own story, your own authenticity – and ultimately your ability to be an effective counsellor.
