"Sarnia's classes were always interesting because she brought so much enthusiasm with her. Sarnia built a learning environment that was safe by being willing to share her own personal experiences,
and supporting each of us with genuine respect when we shared our experiences. I loved Sarnia's style which was professional and fun. Sarnia's professional observations gave me personal insight
and with her support rise to the challenge of the course. As my tutor Sarnia was undoubtedly an inspirational part of this life changing experience. "

My Level Two and Level Three CPCAB qualifications were achieved under the tutelage of Sarnia Noble.
I had no experience working as a helper and came to train as a counseller through a turn of circumstances. Being someone with no knowledge of theory or really what it entailed to be a counseller Sarnia had to take me from the very basics through to Level Three. I personally found the training difficult as the amount of self-awareness and honesty you need to have with yourself can get tough. But when I needed it, when I was genuinely stuck on how to answer a question or look at something in a different way and when I had exhausted all avenues, the help I received was invaluable.
With Sarnia you will be given autonomy, you will not be lead all the way, you will have to try hard to find the answers but it is this method, that assists the most. You will become a better counseller, you will learn to think for yourself and it will be worth it. Remember becoming a counseller is not easy and Sarnia’s method will serve you and your future clients better.
I was not an easy student, I unconsciously fought certain aspects of the course but I was made aware of my triggers, which proves I was listened to and noticed and her observations of me, critical or not have changed many things in my life.
If you require tuition or supervision I can only say that regarding the prior you will become focused, more trusting of yourself and the answers you come up with. Regarding the latter it will be my choice to use Sarnia for my supervision going forward as I know I can place my trust in her and there is nothing more important than that.

issues though along with showing a real interest in them.
