Course overview

Psychotherapy is essentially the listening to, and talking with, those whose problems and anxieties have become too great a burden for them to cope alone. Its aim is to help the troubled individual understand and resolve his predicament.  Psychotherapy leads the individual to deeper understanding, resolution, recovery and self-worth. This course is formulated specifically to train you to work briefly by design rather than by default.
