Journalling for Wellbeing

This course is designed to introduce you to the profoundly transformative, insightful and growth-orientated practice of journalling. It introduces you to the benefits of journalling for all-round wellbeing: cultivating personal growth, good mental health, creativity, problem-solving and intuitive decision making.

The course will help you find yourself and your true voice, in order to experience therapeutic self-expression and newfound clarity. The course will walk you through the practicalities of establishing a fruitful long-term journalling practice and how to avoid 'falling off the wagon' with it, as well as featuring many quick exercises that offer immediate benefits and boosts to your mindset, insight and outlook.

Like any method of self-care, journalling works best when it is cultivated as a regular habit; therefore, the course also lays out how to navigate the practicalities and avoid the pitfalls of making journalling part of your wellbeing routine.

  • How journalling can support personal growth
  • How journalling can support mental health
  • How journalling can support creative expression
  • Prompts and exercises throughout, to help you explore all the aforementioned categories

The Benefits of This Course:

  • Learn how to gain profound clarity and insight into your inner world and psyche through straightforward and easily applicable self-inquiry tools
  • Experience new ways of seeing and a new perspective by using journalling prompts to get to know yourself better and to approach challenges from new angles Improve your mental health and wellbeing
  • Boost your self-confidence and gain a clearer understanding of any difficulties that you face, and discover the solutions that lie untapped within you

    The course was very easy to navigate and very informative. I have gained so much information from this course - it is amazing to know I have learnt so much from this and it is even better that you can do it in your own time and no one pushing you.

    Shaun Mulryne

    The course is well written and broken down into easy sections, there is a test at the end of each module. This course is good if you're looking at a new career or even just want a better understanding of exercise, I would recommend the course for for either.

    The web site is easy to navigate, I would recommend this for some one wanting to start a career in the fitness industry.

    Lisa Hayden

    I love the course very straight forward. Would love to know if there are any more courses available like this for advancement. Everything is clearly explained and if you get in trouble there is a helpline you can call. There should be more courses like this available online to benefit those people that want to go to work in their chosen field but are unable to pay for a program at college or else where. Well done and thank you for allowing me to pursue my interest and hopefully a career at the end of my studying.

    I was a little sceptical about doing an online course as thought it wouldn't be very in depth, but how wrong I was!

    Very thorough and covered everything yo could possibly need. I trained many years ago and wanted a refresh and this was perfect and enabled me to get my insurance and feel confident being back in the Beauty Industry.

    I'm now about to start another refresh course on waxing and cant wait to get going, I will most certainly be back to do more. If you're unsure whether to do an online course, don't be, its a must. Highly recommended!

    Sue Pearce

    I really enjoyed this course. Was a lot of reading and had to stop and try to take it in.

    There were 21 modules, and most of them took 45 minutes to complete, so you need to be in a position, where you actually have the time to do all the tasks that are required. The tasks are mainly to do things by yourself to practise what you have just read, but doing it will help you out so much.

    Will be looking for another course, as I enjoyed this so much, definitely worth the price as the certificate is worth more on your cv.

    Danielle Booth

    I've just completed the Level 3 Admin & PA Diploma!

    I found the course informative and user friendly to navigate. I had the chance to refresh the skills I already possessed and it introduced me to new ideas and information. It was a good opportunity for me to update my skill set.

    A very useful course with the topics very well presented and easy to read and follow. I was able to easily slot the course into my schedule and enjoyed setting time aside to work my way through. I would definitely recommend this course to those wishing to learn something new and for those wishing to sharpen up on previous knowledge.

    Keith Smith

    I took up this course initially to help me with my own dog, but found that as I worked through the material I actually started thinking that this could be something that I could use to make a second income. From start to finish I found the course engaging and interesting. I am now doing another dog related course and am experiencing the same level of enjoyment. I would recommend New Skills Academy without hesitation.

    I found this course incredibly useful, as it provided me with practical knowledge which I can implement in my role as a Support Worker. The videos were clear and concise, and the downloadable worksheets reinforced what I had learned as I was able to put pen to paper. Overall, a fantastic course for a great price!

    Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
    More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.
