Personal growth and counselling skills

Two Personal Growth Courses presented by LifeLine will commence on July 20 at 09.00 and another at 18:30.
The courses are highly recommended for anyone who interacts with other people and for enhancing self esteem. They are well-known and form the backbone of all LifeLine counselling.
