 Students Testimonies

What an amazing experience! Studying counselling can be overwhelming but Aloe Counselling Centre offers such a great support that all my doubts disappeared after first session. The tutor is knowledgeable and professional, training is very robust and well-constructed. Communication is straightforward, feedback is given each week and learning criteria can be claimed in many ways. Learning is interactive and there is a great balance between delivering the curriculum and motivating students to find their own ways of working.  AM-L4

 

The course is well paced, very interesting, provides insights into different modalities, is CPCAB accredited and offers opportunities to develop skills that not only will be needed in the future career, but will enhance personal growth and self-awareness. I am confident I chose the right course, I have already received guidance, support, and I am gaining confidence in own skills each week. I feel challenged and I am really enjoying the learning. Thank you. AM

 

What a great place to study.  Not only did I learn about myself and the skills I need to become a qualified counsellor I have met some wonderful people along the way.  Being with like minded people who share the same goal is very rewarding.  I would recommend Aloe Counselling toanyone wanting to undertake their counselling journey.   JM
