The Counselling School - Sevenoaks

I have just completed the Level 5 Diploma in Couples & Relationship Therapy, and the course was amazing. I would highly recommend this course with Mishelle to anybody looking to expand their practice into couples counselling. Mishelle is so knowledgeable and really focuses on what you need, with empathy and support. Mishelle offered me appropriate challenge to help me develop and grow professionally and personally. My self-awareness has grown exponentially, and I’ve come out the other side a much better counsellor and person.

Mishelle goes out of her way to create a safe, comforting environment, such as, bringing pillows, lamps and rugs into the learning space, making it feel cosy and less clinical. The way the course is structured allows for experiential learning, which really helps to apply the models and new techniques you learn.

I am looking forward to working as a couples’ counsellor, thanks to the new skills and insights I have gained from this course and Mishelle’s incredible knowledge. I’m also looking forward to attending Mishelle’s CPD workshops in the near future.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Mishelle’s Diploma Course in Couples and Relationship Counselling, along with a variety of day workshops. Every single one was outstanding, offering me the opportunity to learn something new about myself, deepen my understanding of who I am, and enhance my counselling competencies.

Mishelle creates a welcoming and safe learning environment and fosters strong tutor-student relationships with each participant. Experiential learning is at the core of her training, which, for me, was an ideal way to develop awareness, empathy, and confidence—helping me grow not only professionally but also personally.

Her years of experience and deep passion for counselling were evident in every session, and I feel privileged to have had Mishelle as a tutor.

I highly recommend The Counselling School for high-standard CPD and an enriching learning experience.

Thank you, Mishelle!

Another mind-blowing workshop experience !! Such brilliant learning with open, honest discussion around sex, shame and secrecy ......thank you to Mishelle, Andrew and Dom for wonderful facilitating, allowing free thoughts and feelings to be voiced in what felt like a safe space, allowing for deeper exploration. Really great work and so much to take away for myself and my client work, bring on the next one!!

I was excited when Mishelle mentioned she was offering this Level 5 couples counselling course as it was something I had been thinking about for a while.

I found it to be a profound and enlightening experience - I learnt so much more about myself, my own relationships and it equipped me to put into practice what I had learnt with my own individual clients.

I really connected with the Imago model, it made a lot of sense to me and I have used it since with my clients and find it works!!

The venue was great, my group/peers were lovely - I liked the small group and I thrived on the learning each week even just through the check ins alone.

I have gained new counselling techniques and strategies to help couples and individuals navigate their challenges through an understanding of relationship dynamics and the emotions and motivations of individuals within a couple and where that stems from through childhood experiences and relationships.

Excellent course on couples and relationship therapy. Teaching and guidance is high quality and has a good balance between theory and practice. I leant so much from Mishelle about myself and how to work in depth with couples.
