I took the Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Psychology course at Stanmore School of Business and it was a great experience. The course content was pretty solid, covering all the key areas I needed to learn about. I liked how the instructors used a mix of theoretical and practical approaches to teach the material - it made it easier to understand and apply the concepts. One thing that stood out to me was the emphasis on cultural sensitivity and diversity, which I think is really important in counselling psychology. The course materials were good, but sometimes I felt like they could be more interactive. Still, I gained some useful skills and knowledge that I can use in my future career, so I'm generally happy with the course.

I gained so much from this course - not just theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills and a deeper understanding of myself and others. I'm so grateful to have had this experience and I would totally recommend it to anyone interested in counselling psychology!
