Counselling, Psychotherapy and Personal Development courses
“It highlights issues within a shorter period of time that counselling alone may take years to surface” Conor Carmody, Nurse.
“The variety of the facilitators was amazing. I wanted to be a sponge to soak up all the wonderful knowledge up. A thoroughly life changing experience for me”. Mary Murphy, area manager, greeting card co.
“I found it to be open and supportive in nature and a hugely significant event in my life” Joseph Foyle, product operator.
"This course has been one of the most raw and fulfilling experiences I have ever had. Aside from being given an excellent overview of psychotherapeutic theory and practices, the self-acceptance and growth I experienced through the group-work dynamic was profound. The facilitators showed a huge amount of competency, skill and compassion. If you are considering a career in a therapeutic role I would highly recommend this foundation course as a preliminary step, to prepare you both professionally and emotionally. My awareness of what it means to be a therapist has matured greatly since the commencement of this course. Regardless of whether you are interested in pursuing a career in therapy, this course provides a safe and supportive space for the individual to explore themselves and grow. There is a huge amount to be gained for everyone.” Danni Lynch, Psychology graduate.
“I found this course really excellent. It made me see parts of myself that I had carefully hidden away and it has given me the strength to look inward at those aspects of myself rather than run away. I have spent 8 years of my life in college but this was the single most influential course I have ever done”. Anne Conneely, now a UL Masters in Psychotherapy graduate.
"I would recommend this training to anyone who is interested in self development, even if they do not wish to train as a counsellor/therapist. It was a challenging, uplifting experience and a wonderful opportunity to grow in understanding of self and others" Paula Martin, now a qualified psychotherapist.
"This foundation course has been one of the most profoundly transforming experiences of my life.” Katharina Walter, NUIG researcher.
“Taking this course helped me to uncover my true passions and what direction I want to take professionally in life. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to follow a career in counselling.” Tina Hannon, Galway.
"This course is the start to the greatest personal journey that you can make! This course will safely take you on a journey of self-awareness. It is an amazing journey taught through Art Work, Body Work and group work. I have learnt so much about myself in the last six month and I have developed a hunger to continue on this journey. All of the facilitators are exceptional and have helped each of us on our journey of self-awareness with such expertise, empathy and kindness.” Katharine McMahon.
