My own counselor recommended Kain Ramsay. I'm glad I'm able to take these courses through Udemy. Tons of information, but presented in a very clear, concise, practical way. I will be taking more of his classes.

By Stella Hara on 8/20/2026

yes. so far so good. i want to become a certified counsellor. i find myself so many times at a point that someone would need my help and i feel bad when i have no idea on how to.

By Suzanne Jenkins on 2/10/2026

The instructor is relatable and thorough. The homework is enough to feel engaged but not overwhelming. There has been a lot of effort put into this course and I feel like I am learning without getting bored. It's one of my favorite courses so far and once I am done with this one I intend to take more of his courses.

By Yusuf Medinat Adeola on 1/12/2026

Yes, I have learned how not to focus too much on what people are doing and more on how I respond to bad habits. I have also learnt that breaking a bad habit requires a lot of discipline from me and to be consistent would require taking baby steps. New behaviours can be learnt. I also learnt to be less judgy whilst seeing from other people's point of view could make me see how their reactions to issues are informed.

By Amanda G KaDel on 11/25/2025

I have watched/listened to this course and at least a dozen others from this speaker/teacher. He has a way of explaining things so that I can understand it's meaning. He is humble, down to earth, honest, transparent, and passionate about what he teaches. I feel like I almost know him and his wife personally. I enjoy watching them demonstrate his teachings together. I've been listening to his courses for almost six years. After I listen to all of them, I'll start over. I highly recommend any of them on a topic that you are interested in.

By Bobby Timonio Nelson on 10/31/2025

This is the third course I have purchased from Kain. I really love his teaching style. He makes everything accessible and explains things in very easy to understand concepts. How he breaks everything down to it's core concepts is really great. Because of him I have actually started my own mental health practice in Japan working with expats mostly.

By Chamilia Whyte on 10/22/2025

This course has been informative. It is easy clear and easy to follow.

By Francine Koorneef on 10/1/2025

He gives the course in a very enthusiast way. His explanations are very clear and detailed. Kian is very passionate about his work and teaching it. He keeps you engage and you can't help to want to know and learn more.

By Rolando Amolato on 11/15/2020

I have learned many things. To know the behavior of other people. No to judge others.

By Victor Edwin Doyle on 11/15/2020
