There are many other Masterclass courses taught by our head tutor and clinical lead, Psychotherapist/Psychotraumatologist the Rev Dr George Booty, such as specialised courses, i.e. to become a Certified Trauma informed Counsellor, after graduation. There are over very many courses that will eventually be uploaded regarding Counselling & Psychotherapy skills which will serve as CPD courses for your future success and to cover ongoing training within the professions, so you are not left in isolation after graduation from our diploma courses..
