“Did you know that “marriage counselling” is searched for, over 120 000 times per year in South Africa alone!? I have been working with couples and relationships for the last 10 years and I can guarantee you that we will see a major rise in marital- and relationship-related problems after this lock down has ended. If you would like to be of assistance to those couples in need of counselling, but lack the necessary skill set to do so; this course is for you.”
