I completed a degree from one of the top universities in the country, but it still left me feeling unprepared to handle real-life clients. It was too theoretical and cost thousands of pounds. I felt like an imposter, afraid I might harm clients or didn’t deserve to be paid. Sometimes during sessions, I’d go blank, unsure how to respond. This course bridged the gap between theory and real-world practice, and made me feel ready to be a therapist.

Rita Mannings, Clinical Psychologist

I spent 15 years as a teacher, but something was always missing. I wanted to be a therapist and help people. At first, I thought I needed to go through the expensive and time-consuming accreditation process with BACP or NCPS, especially since so many people made me feel it was legally required in the UK. But then I consulted my lawyer and realized it wasn’t true—in an unregulated market like the UK, accreditation isn’t necessary to practice legally. This course gave me the confidence to start my own practice, and now I’m earning £5,000 a month doing what I love.

Eric Stephens, CoUNSELLOR

I lacked confidence when it came to handling difficult clients—whether they were angry or refused to pay. No course had prepared me for that, and I also struggled to get clients. This course changed everything! I’m now more confident with the techniques, know how to handle tough situations, and I’m earning £7,000 a month from my private practice. More power to you guys!

Walter Cain, LIFE COACH

I moved to the UK from the US with my husband, only to discover that my counselling qualifications weren’t recognized by accrediting bodies here. The accreditation system felt unfair. This course transformed my life. It gave me the confidence to be a therapist and taught me how to set up a private practice WITHOUT accreditation to support my family.
