The latest HICC has completed it’s nine monthly weekends with mixed feelings I and the students are glad that we will have a break from our monthly commitment but as with most HICC groups we have built an incredibly close supportive and cohesive group. I have personally felt loved and supported by this mature group as I lost my elder son in January after a long battle with alcoholism. The students truly demonstrated the qualities Carl Rogers, felt were essential for a good counsellor; empathy, positive regard for the other, and genuineness, in their relationship with me, at a very vulnerable time.
The course lends itself to trust and sharing as each week the students spend Saturday afternoons practising counselling skills with each other. I’m sure they would all agree at times the course has been challenging both in the knowledge and understanding and in the growth in their self-awareness, and they are often ready for home on the Sunday afternoon.
The beautiful venue of the old school- house beamed hall at Peace Haven in South Shropshire has allowed us to share a pooled lunch together and given us other opportunities to exchange views and much hilarity.
The students on this course have included two yoga teachers, a physiotherapist, a reflexologist / healer who volunteers in a local hospice, and an artist and potter, a mother and daughter combination which despite my initial reservations worked very well. In fact the potter, Liz Gunning is also in the process of developing as a healer on the COH Diploma course! And has kept up with her assignments for both courses, some dedication and commitment.
The group have decided to meet up in four months for the start of their O.P.D.

hi there.
a challenging but very rewarding course, the ‘journey’ is not complete yet (will it ever be) but I am so glad that I decided to do the HICC course 2010/2011 and met some lovely folk too!

Hia to all, the journey I am taking at present has been so wholesome and up lifting. Over the past nine months I have been studying on the HICC Course whilst also being a student on the College of Healing Course. Wow, The two courses really do enhance one another, and the contents of each has certainly enriched my life and the lives of my family.
I love the out doors but just recently have wished for rain as I can then bury my head in my lap top and write the next essay! The courses have also given me the valued time to re- discover myself, meet like minded people, and be in touch with my inner self. I don’t think for one moment I wll ever stop healing my life but the process is so heart felt and expanding of the mind!
Thankyou Annie for the journey, you are truely an inspirational teacher and friend.
Love Light and Laughter, Lizzy x
