🎉 Congratulations to this year’s Counselling Skills Certificate students, who all graduated this week! They gave moving presentations on how the course has impacted their professional and personal lives.

It’s a big commitment of time, money and vulnerability to become better listeners, parents, partners, colleagues.

Well done to the class of ’26!

The next group starts mid-August: on Wednesday mornings or Tuesday evenings, with occasional Saturdays.
