Course Details

This comprehensive module is designed to help students and graduates confidently transition from study to professional practice.

Central to this module is a transformative and unique consultation process that goes far beyond standard practice. Students learn how to conduct an in-depth, holistic consultation that not only assesses but also initiates healing. Learn how to identify internal and external patterns, obstacles and causes, uncovering the deeper dynamics behind presenting issues. Everyone’s story is important, and this process honours that truth as a vital part of healing.

In addition to mastering this approach, students are guided in how to structure their sessions for greater clarity, flow, and effectiveness—ensuring each step of the practitioner-client journey is intentional, ethical, and empowering.
