Counselling Service
|
The centre takes a holistic approach to educating our learners. We believe that each individual has the potential to grow both professionally and personally. An integral part of this growth is the therapeutic support available to our learners. Our qualified Psychotherapist has extensive experience in working with young adults and they are available to help process any personal issues the learners may struggle with.
She provides both one on one therapy, as well as mental health workshops for groups of learners. These workshops focus on developing better self-awareness and coping skills, as well as redefining the self in a more positive light. Our attitude towards mental health is one of non-judgemental positivity. We encourage our learners to seek support/advice whenever needed and we are always happy to help. |
