Study smarter. Feel confident. Pass first time.
Becoming a qualified counsellor is not an easy journey. You dream of helping others, but to get there you have a lot to learn and it can be an overwhelming process.
Fitting your studies around your life, and even your current job can be a juggling act. There's a huge amount of information to consume and it takes time.
We know you'll be feeling the pressure of having made the financial commitment to your course, and the academic learning involved in counselling won't come easy to everyone. It can leave you with a fear of falling behind, and even failure.
If you can relate to this then you are not alone and that's why we've designed the Counselling Study Resource to help you succeed.
The Student Library works on any device. Study at home on your computer, review lectures on your tablet, or listen to audio content on your phone during your commute. Everything you need is available 24/7.
No special software required. Just log in with your email and password and start learning immediately.
