Testimonials
“Ava has been one of the best – if not the best tutor I have ever had, coming from someone who has been through college as a teen, university as a young adult and in and out of studying ever since. She is caring and compassionate, as well as thorough, ensuring to get the work done. Learning with Ava has been a journey of self reflection and growth where I have felt supported, respected and heard.”

“Ava is an exceptional tutor. From the very beginning, she fostered a safe, inclusive, curious, compassionate and supportive environment. This environment meant that I felt able to experiment with and develop skills during practical sessions, and engage critically with and reflectively on theory we covered. It also supported a depth of exploration of myself, how I relate to others, and how my life experiences have shaped and influenced aspects of 'me', all of which I feel have strengthened the way in which I can implement the skills we learned. I cannot speak highly enough of Ava.

“I can’t recommend this course enough. I didn’t release I would learn so much about myself that I have taken into my everyday life. Ava is an excellent facilitator that has made the course really enjoyable. I’m looking forward to starting Level 3 soon.”

“I’ve just finished the Level 2 Counselling course with Clear Light Academy and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to be a counsellor, as well as anyone who wants to improve their listening skills or self-knowledge. Ava is a fantastic tutor – she really cares about supporting each student. There were a lot of laughs and some tears as we learned the CPCAB framework and also explored ourselves along the way. The group was such a warm and open space”

I’ve learnt so many new skills and I think my communication has improved in both my work and personal life. Learning about myself has been the biggest positive of this course.
