What
people have said about Matrix
counselling courses: |
| |
|
| • |
“What
I like is that the approach is integrative.
I was interested in knowing what
other orientations had to offer
and I am now much more confident
in my practice.” |
| • |
‘I
haven’t studied for twenty
years and have had a lot of emotional
and family difficulties. When I
started I wasn’t sure that
I could become a professional counsellor.
At Matrix my life experience was
really valued, and I was given all
the help I needed to develop on
the academic side from my classmates
and the tutors”. |
| • |
“I wanted a course that is
recognised in the British Educational
System, – and I found that
in Matrix. This training has brought
out the best in me, and I am really
happy to recommend Matrix”. |
| • |
“This
course was excellent for me. There
was a nice balance of theory and
practice on each session. Having
a full weekend of training meant
that I was able to continue my job
and pay for my training while I
worked” |
| • |
“I
keep returning to Matrix for continuing
professional development as you
offer value for money. Your courses
are well structured in a supportive
and nurturing environment and have
given me a sound grounding in my
work with children and their families.” |
| • |
“I felt this course was
brilliant! The tutors gave me
extra help as I am dyslexic and
I am now a confident qualified
counsellor. I really appreciated
the small classes and individual
time we were given by the tutors”.
|
| • |
“This
training has helped develop my own
style of counselling which reflects
my philosophy, values and personality”. |
