| This course has been the best course I've done! I've learned a great deal about myself and about others behaviour. I feel this course has set me up for a better future with regards to employment and my relationships. |
| I feel happy...working with a group. For me, it's like being a part of an organ of one body. If one part or organ is in pain, all the rest of the body suffer the same pain. I realised this when someone doesn't turn up for some reason. All the rest of us start asking about him. At the beginning of the course it was not the same. |
| I never used to really want to listen to another person's problems and be able to stay interested in what's being said, but now I do. Outside of the group I have noticed that I talk less when in a conversation so I can understand a bit more. |
| The benefits of being on this course are fantastic and I wish I could have done something like this years ago. Maybe it could help me in mentoring young offenders. It has given me a boost in my daily life in prison. |
| Overall my communication skills are benefitting vastly from this course and I am looking forward to developing my counselling skills further. |
| I have noticed how doing the counselling course has made me look deep within myself: I have noticed how this course has made me look at my own life in detail and now I see a future that was not there before. For this I must thank you. |
| I would like to do more counselling programmes if possible because this course has opened doors I never expected to walk through. |
| I can only say that it felt like I had broken through a wall that I thought I never would and this has lifted my spirits immensely. |
| I am noticing a change in the conversations which I have with my friends and family as I feel that they are telling me a lot more about what is going on in their lives and this feels good. |
| I have noticed lots of changes in the way I have conversations with my partner and friends and family. I feel that I am providing more support for her as she opens up and tells me a lot more about her problems and what is going on with the kids, which I feel in turn has a positive effect on our relationship. |
