Overview

Being a journal therapist is a challenging way around a career. You do need to work your way out in many different sectors. Specifically, since the whole career is centred around researching and writing, it is crucial to understand that to be a journal therapist, you should know human psychology, behaviour and many more things.

Our training is specially designed for you to understand human psychology. By the end of this course, you will be certified as a Journal Therapist with professional experience.
