Read MoreI love the videos, compared to reading with many other online CPD’s, being dyslexic, reading can be lengthy and tedious for me, so its a great and a welcome change to learning for me. I have done several CPD’s online but they were very time consuming for me as they are a lot of reading. Being military trained, training was always done through practical application and learning, by being talked through the lessons with visuals, I find this the easiest and one of the best ways to learn. My compliments Sj, I feel this is certainly going to go far as a way of CPD’s of the future in comparison to many that just have material to read and then have questions to answer. Will certainly be coming back for more.

Read MoreI highly recommend this excellent course ! I have gained so much knowledge both personally and professionally and feel much better equipped when working not just with couples but any relationship problems within families as it has helped me to recognise the importance of the way we communicate our feelings and needs and enabled me to be in a better position to have the confidence to use what I have learned to help support and guide others in recognising how they can improve their relationships by using some of the strategies learned.
