Concepts have been clearly explained in the course. Supporting materials are helpful for both working with clients and self-reflection too. Inclusion of case studies for deeper understanding and practice is the best thing about the course.

By Norah Namazzi on 10/3/2025

Am compassionate about trying to solve people's problems in my country and many people come to me asking for advice mainly individuals and couples, that's why I want to expand my knowledge on counselling. I love the course

By Tameca L Morrow on 3/30/2025

This was an excellent course which gave me a ton of insight on how to become an effective counselor. I've been sort of an "unofficial counselor" to many people throughout my life and am happy to finally receive the certification to begin my calling of becoming an official counselor.

By Devin Steinsultz on 12/16/2023

I didn’t get any actual techniques from this. It’s mostly about how to set up the session. But there wasn’t any useful information at all about techniques to help. I don’t feel like I really learned any problem solving techniques. It’s incomplete. This course needs a whole other section just on tools to help the client.

By Britney Chinn on 7/10/2023

Something I learned was it's important to be honest... but not BRUTALLY honest and to speak with consideration and not be blunt or come across as rude. I also learned that it's helpful to challenge dysfunctional behavior and beliefs and ask what they mean with some of the words the client uses.

By Alim Ahmad Hashmi on 5/28/2022

Loved the course. Got a lot of insights into my own experiences in life that I could relate to. Will be using the learnings to further my work professionally to help myself 'grow & evolve', and to help others as well.

By Dr Alice Maina on 3/9/2022

This course is well prepared and easy to understand it. It has made my perception towards life changes especiaslly when I read case studies. I feel equipped with skills that I can use for myself and clients.

By Tracy Lee Westermeyer on 9/2/2021

The course is quite informative and inspiring. It is a tool for societal and mankind transformation and healing in a troubled soul and community. I am inspired by this course and as a community leader I look forward to using it for the benefit of any one that desire its impact.

By Dr Pranav Kumar on 8/10/2020

A very systematic Course in Counseling. Builds the foundation as well as gives the primary framework of counseling for all types of clients, and for different issues. The key steps of counseling and creating the best outcomes have been included with clarity. A great module for anyone interested to become a Counselor. Thanks to expert trainer, Associate Prof Krishna N Sharma for a crisp course.
