Register by November 30 Online Counselling Course For Professional Training and Personal Development "I was excited to take the course but I was not sure that an online course would be able to teach me the skills to feel confident in saying I know how to conduct a counselling session. I was VERY wrong. From very early on, I realised this course was far more in depth than I had imagined possible." - Frances B., Canada "Having done this course I realize that I had not even begun to understand the art of good counseling. I think that the knowledge attained from this course is incredible. I am so thrilled to have the book both electronically and in paperback to use as a textbook for reference and will continue to read it many, many more times.â&#x20AC;? - Wendy T., Canada
