Testimonials

"I am excited to have started my studies in youth counselling and exploring, learning more about mental disorders and how these disorders are formed. There has been an increase in mental health across the and I am very interested in exploring the different types of mental disorders. This is especially a personal journey for me as I am a survivor of being in a 12-year very violent and toxic relationship with a full-blown covert narcissist." - Iritana W.

 I recently completed my advanced course in Psychology & Counseling online. The course was both interesting and informative. The flexible schedule allowed me to complete it at my own pace, stress-free. The tutors and staff were always available to assist with any questions, assignments or doubts about the readings that I didn't understand. They were extremely supportive. The online materials provided were also very helpful. I feel positive and confident that I can apply this knowledge in practice and pursue a career in counselling." - Namgay W.
