Did a night school course last year at Holly Lodge. It started as a ten week course"basic listening skills" which turned into a thirty week course "introduction to counselling skills."
I picked up my certificate this week, and was very proud of my course work, and the fact I completed the course, despite being on shift work.
Thanks should go to my tutor, Chris Burns, and the friends I made on the course, notably Irene and Elaine.
I would have liked to carry on with the intermediate course, but my work shift patterns make this impractical. Maybe next year!!

Well done, how much studying did you have to do? It would be good for councillors to get listening skills training, we do loads of surgeries with vulnerable people and nobody knows it all.
I work shifts a week about(earlies and lates) and so I missed every other week .That is why I am not following it up with the intermediate course, I could not do the intermediate course justise, as the workload is very heavy. I was privaleged in the fact that other people on the course sent me the course work I missed, and I was able to evaluate this at home, and present the work required. As regards would it councillors ( particulary Labour) be helped by this course?(I think most of you are very caring and speak through the heart anyway) In closing, the real reason I did the course was to give me a grounding ito an aspect of voluntary work, so I can put something back into the community,.
