Positive Thinking Correspondence Course

If you feel you lack confidence, get stressed too easily or don’t feel as happy as you could, this course is for you.
 

This solution focused course will help you understand yourself  better and realise what makes you tick and what blocks you. By learning to use Positive Thinking techniques, you can help yourself overcome inner barriers and become more confident, and if you get stuck on a task, your  tutor can help you to tackle the task in a way that will allow you to complete it so that you can make a positive move  forward in your personal development.

The course:

This solution focused course consists of ten units that you can work through in your own time. Each unit contains tasks and exercises for you to carry out. These will not only deepen your theoretical understanding of each unit, but they will also allow you to make faster progress with the issues you want to resolve in your life.

Each unit carries an assignment which you complete and send to your tutor before the next unit is dispatched to you. In this way you will have feedback on how you are doing all along the way, and questions can be answered while the unit is still fresh in your mind.

You can use the course for personal development only or you can do a written exam and practical training to qualify as a Practical Thinking counsellor.
