PsychEd

PsychEd, based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), is a psychology community dedicated to supporting individuals who have hit a plateau in their psychology journey. Many find themselves at a crossroads, uncertain due to the lack of a master’s degree or practical therapy skills. PsychEd helps bridge this gap by offering practical therapy skills training (STREPCO) through the Helios Training Centre. This training enables individuals to register with organizations like CCSA or ASCHP and begin working legally as wellness counsellors.

Flexible training options are offered:
• Part-Time (Weekends): Attend training sessions on weekends, allowing you to balance work commitments.
• Full-Time (2 Weeks): Dive into an intensive 2-week course.
Training is primarily face-to-face, fostering community building. However, online options are also available.

So, let’s join forces and empower you on your journey to becoming the counsellor you aspire to be. With the practical support you need, you’ll be well-equipped to make a positive impact in our communities.
