TESTIMONIALS
I will use this qualification to launch my men’s mental health sessions, giving many men the opportunity to benefit from what I’ve learned throughout this course. I plan to continue expanding my knowledge in counselling, as well as deepen my research into men’s needs for talking therapy and safe, supportive spaces.

Supported my perspective of mental health, which will support my work within the ambulance service - more person centred approach to care.

An excellent course giving a detailed insight into children and young people’s mental health. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and once I started I couldn’t wait to start the next unit. My tutor marked my assessments quickly and gave constructed feedback. I’m looking forward to enrolling on another course.
