You have a passion to help others and you want to get it right!

So many counselling students say that learning counselling skills and using them effectively, is challenging.

Students don’t get to see qualified therapists demonstrating how to apply skills in real sessions because of confidentiality.
This means we are asked to learn something we can never see demonstrated in a real setting. It’s no wonder that many are left feeling unsure.

Lack of confidence, from not knowing exactly what to do or how to apply techniques, can cause self-doubt and change the passion for helping others into uncertainty and anxiety.

I know what it feels like to wonder “am I doing this right” and countless student counsellors have felt the same.

The good news is … I have helped thousands of students be confident with their counselling skills. And the best part is … I can show you what works.
