Tara Sherwood

Sophia College was a great for my

personal development and gave me the

counselling skills to deal with my

emotions and help friends and family

work through theirs too.

FREE COUNSELLING

Sophia College students offer free counselling to the community. Clients are encouraged to express with clay, sand play, colour, gesture and sound.

STUDENT PERSPECTIVE

Tracy Watson

I chose Sophia College was because the

college uses CBT, but combines this with

different theories and practices, such as

art and drama. The focus is always on

using a client centered model.

Kathy Elder

Sophia College has an innovative and

experiential approach to healing and

teaching. I found this course extremely

inspiring. It opens a pathway for inte-

grating mind, body and soul.

that I can learn coping skills.”

“The counsellor has been able to tailor the session specifically for me and what I would

like to work on. Really enjoying it.”

“I did painting today and the combo of visualization and painting really helped me

process through all the muddle.”
