JHD/ CCTS CYP level 5 has without doubt changed my life. It has added depth to my perception of myself as a person first, and as a therapist it has allowed me to grow exponentially in confidence and expertise. The tutors were all professional and very experienced but at the same time I have felt warmly supported in my professional and personal journey towards becoming a CYP counsellor.
I highly recommend them.
