Hear from our learners
Mika - Counselling Level 2 to Level 5
“Coming back to college and learning was really challenging, but I felt supported by my classmates. Being able to talk to them in class every week really helped me. As I've progressed, I've noticed my skills building and improving. To look back at where I was at Level 2, the difference is massive. I’m proud of myself.”
Mika has progressed through our counselling courses. She now runs her own practice, and has recently been shortlisted for a business award.
