This is a common theme with a lot of the students that seek to study with Metavision due to the transformative nature of the course. Her passion for communication and in particular, the Metavision Model has helped her transition from her previous career into her current role where she embodies this model while working with people from all walks of life.

Deanne teaches the Holistic Counselling Skills Certificate under Christina's mentorship and also presents the two-day Foundational Counselling Skills workshop.

Open to anyone who wants to make a difference.

The Holistic Counselling Skills Certificate provides an excellent combination of study approaches to meet the needs of the modern world.

You will complete the vast majority of your study online via our Moodle E-Learning Platform.  This platform has all the tools to keep you in contact with your peers, tutors, and the Metavision community. 

We believe personal interaction is an important part of your study. From the beginning, we work to connect you with your peers in the course to allow for collaboration and connection in respect to the content. This is an important part of adult learning and greatly improves familiarity with the subject.

The course content is delivered on a weekly basis building your skills each week. A typical week will involve the following resources:

  • Teaching podcast
  • Teaching video
  • YouTube clips
  • Reading material
  • 1 or 2 Exercises to be worked on during the week
  • Zoom meetings

The exercises are varied with an emphasis on experiential learning. They are designed to enhance your engagement with the content, to develop self-reflective practices, and to learn collaboratively.  You will find the assessments highly relevant and easily applied to your everyday life.
