By Messal Narvasa on 9/2/2026
Yes it's a good match. It gives me idea on how to handle every person's behaviour and personality
By Robert Fisher on 7/31/2026
Yes, absolutely! Great. I am currently working as a bereavement counsellor to adults who have lost their children in a hospice setting. I hope to expand my portfolio to work with children.
By Anusha Mallampalli on 6/22/2026
Learned alot of information which helps to read the child and adults mindset. I feel it gives more and more knowledge
By Nelly Shawny Remy on 1/2/2026
Easy to understand. Concepts were very clear despite not being in full depth but it was still very interesting
By Harsh Aswar on 1/1/2026
The Professor explains things very clearly and in a concise manner. The course is covers broad areas, and is very easy to learn and understand.
By Piyush Kumar Prasad on 12/14/2025
Course is giving bits of important information from various counselling books and academic courses. without real insights or sample cases being fleshed out. it is few hours of time - giving a blueprint of what information you need to learn than real learning. I have no clue of how these 'Strange' courses got high ratings. More like high level 'Gyan' given by academicians more to sell courses rather than teach someone real stuff. this is the last course I will take from 'Strange'
By Militsa Hristova on 10/22/2023
What I liked the most is that this course could have been intimidating to a person with no psychological background. However, it was exactly the opposite. It is well done, well structured and well served to the student. Thank you.

I need pdf material not only listening
By Debbie Metcalfe on 11/15/2020
I would have liked it to be a bit more in-depth.
More provided resource links, documents, and the ability to save a transcript of lessons would be helpful for later reviewing.
By Rafidah Rahim on 11/8/2020
The sharing helps me to reflect on the mistakes I have done in the attempt to provide counselling to adolescents. Tq
