Level4 advanced counselling and psychotherapy

I loved this course and learnt a lot about the course and how the mind works most of all it had a massive impact on myself and didn’t realise I was being a counsellor or a therapist until now my tutor Lee was brill and was very patient with me even though I was getting stressed because of my dislexia
