I am not from psychology background neither do I intend to become a professional counselor but still the course has so much to offer. You can use it for day to day life. Karthik sir is very much considerate towards everything and he make sure every student gets same attention. I enjoyed my time during classes. Even if you do not wish to become counselor just go for it. It will be life changing for sure.

I had recently attended few certificate courses from sir - and despite attending several courses, his content is constantly upgraded and there are many new takeaways. Sirs sessions are therapeutic in themselves and he provides a non-judgmental, encouraging, safe space to explore different counseling approaches and techniques, thereby appreciating and fostering every individuals unique style of counseling. So not only do his courses help develop counseling skills but also help in building confidence in oneself and ones abilities. Would highly recommend his sessions for everyone.

I attended CBT course conducted by Mr. Karthick . I have known him over a decade as a faculty in Madras university. I have always been wanting to attend his classes and get trained under him as he had ocean of knowledge in psychology. It was a hurdle for me as I reside in the UAE. Pandemic made it possible for me to attend his class as he started conducting it online. It was worth every minute and penny I spent. He took us through counseling processes, trained us by giving us a chance to be counselor, feedback of the sessions, clear and simple way of explaining theories by giving a lot of examples made the five days very interesting and knowledgeable. Looking forward to the other courses as well. Thank you Karthick sir.

I recently did Diploma in Life Coaching & Counselling from CCS Academy and I would say this is the best place. I am happy that I took the right decision. I have attended many courses before but was not so confident in doing counseling but after joining this program I have gained all confidence to do counseling and started doing too. Every class was interesting. Thanks to Karthik Sir, for his patience and for making sure that we are able to understand the concepts. The live counseling practice session gave an insight that helped me to learn. It was really a great learning experience. The class was taken in an interactive manner. Definitely, the study material is the best and easy to understand. Once again, Thank you sir, for taking the time and preparing the material, bringing in concepts that are easy to understand, and teaching us the best techniques. I would strongly recommend CCS Academy.

I have completed the 72 hrs Diploma Course in Life Coaching and Counseling under Karthik Sir. It has been very useful and informative in terms of both professional and personal ways. Karthik Sir has unique approach towards the counselling process. With his expertise, he has developed his own approach (EI Model) which is one of the easiest, simple method and effective in its own way. He is a great teacher and provides a better space for the people to learn about counseling with the real time counseling sessions.

Kartik sir is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in the field of psychology and counselling. He is founder of the EI (Easy Integration) Model of counselling Psychology and life coaching - which is a practical approach to understanding the theories of counselling and applying it with real clients. Sir’s practical approach and real-time counselling sessions literally opened up a new avenue to me and the course was so immersive that it helped me learn more about myself and how I will deal with my clients tomorrow. Kartik sir goes step by step in a well planned manner that someone even without psychology background will have a new world opened up for them. I take with me good knowledge of counselling methodologies and practical approach which sets a good foundation for a career tomorrow in this field. Sir is very transparent, empathetic and an expert in this field. I would love to be part of his upcoming courses too as it helps improve my skills in this domain.

This is right place to learn what counselling actually is. Even if you dont have any background knowledge about counselling. You can take up course without second thought.Mr. Karthik understands about the methodology of teaching and encouraging his students whenever needed throughout the course.You will get to see the live counselling in the session itself. And understand how it has the counsellor and client is been communicating.You will learn how to give preference to your mental health personally and to your clients too.Worth it.

I had completed my MPhil psychology and wanted to upgrade my skills in counseling. I found the easy integration model of counselling taught by Karthik sir very useful and had helped me to scientifically apply the techniques from various approaches based on the personality mode of the client.The live counseling sessions conducted by sir was highly commendable and helped me to observe and practice what has been taught during the classes. His style of teaching was unique and appreciate his expertise in the field of counselling.Eventhough the training was through online mode, I felt as if siting in a physical classroom set up and was able to interact with sir and my batchmates. I have personally benefited through this training and gained lot of confidence to practice counseling.I would strongly recommend this diploma program in life coaching and counseling to all who is interested in counseling.

I had the opportunity to attend the Certification course in School, College, Family and Corporate Counseling.The course was very structured in helping us understand the difference between counseling, advice and suggestions.It has detailed content explaining the various therapies to be applied in counseling.The video presentations were well delivered with relevant examples, where ever possible, make it easier to understand and relate.The live counseling sessions were of great help to understand the theory and how we need to apply the therapy.Karthik sir has constructed the course material, video presentations and the live interaction sessions well.This has helped us to easily grasp and clarify our queries.Good certification course on counseling psychology.

I just recently completed a Diploma course on Life Coaching & Counseling offered by CCS.It completely changed my perception about counseling. It helped me to unlearn unprofessional methods & learn the professional way of Counseling.Karthik Sir has prepared a very comprehensive & ready to understand study material, which will be extremely useful for anyone planning to venture into professional counseling.The classes were conducted in a very interactive manner, & Sir was very particular about attendance & physical presence throughout. This actually strongly indicates his sincerity & commitment to the course he is providing. I felt that was something I could appreciate the most.He wanted the students to get the maximum benefit out of these classes.Even though it was an online course, I honestly felt like I was in real class, & also got the opportunity to interact with many of my course mates.The live counseling sessions have been very helpful to understand how professional counseling happens, where the prime focus is on improving the mental health of the client.And the various scientific techniques & approaches that we were introduced to, are indeed powerful tools that we can use when we start professional counseling.I would strongly recommend this course to all interested in counseling.

I attended the 13 hours online certificate course on corporate, school and family counselling. I came across the easy integration model founded by sir for the first time and it was a totally different perspective on how to choose the right approach for the clients. The concepts in the videos were very clearly explained and during the contact classes, live mock counselling sessions showed the application of the concepts learnt. It was an enriching 4 weeks of learning and I would recommend any session taken by Karthik Sir.

I did this course through online during this pandemic but I feel it is no different from offline training. All the theories or techniques taught by sir are so clearly understood, he gives examples to make us understand even more. First three days he lets us watch how he counsels and then other days of the course he allows us to counsel under his supervision and helps us if we go wrong anywhere and helps us identify our mistakes by encouraging us. Thank you so much sir. I learnt a lot by attending this course🙂

I have done my diploma online from CCS. I can confidently say this training is much better than many offline programs. Apart from being very good counselor, Karthik sir is a shrewd teacher. He is always engaging and strict time manager. He not only encourages participants to be proactive but gives them freedom to do counseling in their own comfortable style. He believes there is no strict counseling approach everybody needs to adhere to, instead it is the art of finding your style that serves the purpose and encourages us in uncovering it. This is the best part you hardly find with other teachers. I am happy that I made the right decision in choosing the right course and person as it is difficult to find it online who is genuine and who is not. He is true to his commitment.Thank you Karthik sir. Look forward to joining the Advanced Diploma course soon. 🙏

I recently qualified the Diploma in Life Coaching and Counseling certification conducted by the CCS academy. Kudos to our facilitator, Mr. Karthik Lakshmanan for designing this comprehensive course based on the Easy Integration Model.As a student of non-psychology background, a lot of methods taught based on real life scenarios helped me understand counseling in a simplified manner. The whole essence of the course was based on one principle - putting the mental health of the client first and how to improve it. He also gave a detailed roadmap of pursuing psychology as a career in the forthcoming years which was very insightful.Highly recommend it to even non-psychology background professionals who are interested in mastering the Art of Psychology!

Recently I Completed Online Diploma in Life Coaching and Counselling using Easy Integration Model from CCS Academy. It was a 60 hrs theory and Practical Session. All topics of relevance from Basic psychology, Qualities of a Counsellor, Legal and ethical aspects to Counselling in Various contexts were covered in a very systematic way. The course material is very much relevant and ready to refer anytime.Though it was online, interaction with each and every participant was ensured as like physical classroom. Theories were explained in very simple manner and Learnt how to choose a right school of thought or approach for a client based on the personality mode and how to apply the formula for each personality mode. The training has given me a different insight into the professional Career and helped me personally also.It was easy to retain the content since Theory and Practice was organized simultaneously. We had a great and satisfactory learning together from the supervised live counselling sessions and the interaction followed by each session.Throughout Mr. Karthik Lakshmanan Sir has inculcated Punctuality, Time management, Discipline, Approachability, Passion, and Commitment.

* I attended the 60 hour online Diploma in Life Coaching & Counseling and it transformed the way I used to look at counseling.* Karthik sirs methods helped me think and act like a professional caregiver/counselor rather than a mere advise/suggestion giver. Especially the Easy-Integration model taught in this diploma helped me identify the appropriate approach and deliver the most suitable therapy to the client while taking into consideration his/her personality/mode. I need to confess, it is a very pragmatic and effective model for both beginners and seasoned counselors.* The training, though online, is immersive and interactive. Live counseling sessions with critical analyses of the same by the end of each session help understand the utility of the many theories learnt.* The example laden explanations, carefully crafted content and the overall experience that I accumulated through this diploma is immensely satisfying and highly motivating.

Was looking to pursue a Counseling course for a long time. After reading lot of reviews chose this course @ Chennai Counseling Services and I have to say it was worth it. The best part of the course was the hands on training done throughout the course. Training under Prof. Karthik has given me an immense amount of confidence to even start my own services. I Will recommend whoever has a genuine wish to help others to take this course. Prof. Karthik does a very good job of making all the students interact with each other which is very important due to the online nature of the classes. These interactions always allows us to generate and share our own ideas with each other thereby resulting in an effective learning practice. Apart from this, Prof. Karthik also gives two personal counselling sessions for every student which also gives us a better outlook into ourselves and also a real time opportunity to learn from the master himself. Whether you are someone who already has a counselling degree or someone who is getting into this as a means of helping others this is a perfect course, Just go for it.

Taking up the live online course on counselling and life coaching is the best ever investment I have made. The Easy integration model structured by Karthik sir, make lessons easily understood even for a novice. The facilitator followed a very organized approach, sighted as many examples, ensured the theories and therapies were well received by the group. .Our batch had a chance to observe and to take part in nearly 18 live counselling sessions (not sure if any others offer) where each from the batch had an opportunity to play the role of counsellor and help improve the mental health of the client. However, under the guidance of Karthik sir, we got to know the tips and tricks of handling the extreme situations as well. With highly interactive fellow participants, the sessions were taken through various therapies and techniques which were best suited for the client.A dedicated Sunday time spent for this course is always to be cherished. Though it was an online session, it was lively with no less than a classroom. The understanding and application of these theories are not only for a career path, but also applicable for every individual’s life solutions. This course is really a game changer for anyone wanted to pursue counselling as it gives practical knowledge of applying the theories during counselling.Time management of this program is a must to mention, always started and ended on the given stipulated time every week, covering all the topics and giving opportunity to the participants to be as the counsellor, were well managed. The fee is very reasonable for the depth of knowledge and skill acquired from this program. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wish to contribute in helping others to help themselves for a mentally healthy life.Looking forward for more courses and opportunities with CCS team.

I did the diploma course in counseling and life coaching from CCS Academy and I must say I couldnt have asked for a better way to learn counseling- it was practical and holistic. The facilitator himself brilliantly designed a model that gives us the crux of what counseling is all about and by the end of the course, one will be able to counsel clients and is equipped with the skills to even start a private practice for which he provides support and guidance throughout. His model is so easy to apply and gives a structure to hold on to for beginners, and it is immensely rich and vast in the topics covered.The fact that we learnt online was barely noticeable and didnt impede our learning in any way. Complex theories were explained with examples in a simple manner. All our doubts were patiently addressed, and Karthik sir is someone who truly cares about our learning, and ensures we get the the best experience from the course by being completely invested and dedicated throughout.The best part was getting to watch and handle live counseling sessions- this is when we truly learn and experience the art of counseling. It builds confidence and helps us understand our own strengths and areas for improvement better. This is something we will not get from other training programmes.More than anything, the course has made me more self aware and empathetic, and by applying the concepts we learnt to my own self, I can navigate life better.Totally recommend this anyone with any interest in psychology and counseling! Hope the easy integration model of this course reaches and benefits a lot of people.Look forward to doing more courses with CCS :)

I attended 60 hr training program on Diploma in Life coaching and counselling. The training is very much effective and useful to the new and also to the practising counsellors.The live counselling session gave lot of experience. The EI model, Easy Integration model, adopted by CCS is a combination of many models and will be much useful in dealing with the clients. The interactive sessions are very good, gave new experience. The important and useful topics are covered covered. About 40 topics are covered. I am very much satisfied with the enormous knowledge and expertise of Trainer, Sri. Laxmanan. His past experience in dealing with the clients is tremendous. He is doing yoemen service in imparting knowledge on counselling and career guidance.

Review №64

This review is for the online Diploma course in counselling. The ONLINE COURSES are equally effective as the IN CLASS courses. The reasons being that you can attend it from the comfort of your home, technology is a boon as we can have practical sessions with the same effectiveness on zoom, as it encompasses body language and voice both, hence I would highly recommend everyone to take up this course especially in these tough times, since it gives you an amazing sense of purpose. I have long wanted to write this review and I am finally doing it. I have been coaching under Karthik Sir since the past few months; I initially did the basic course on psychology of everyday which motivated me enroll for the Diploma in coaching and counselling too wherein we learnt all the 10 techniques of counselling in detail and experienced live practical sessions too, and it was the right and a well thought of decision. I would be dividing this feedback into two part Firstly the content of the course and Secondly the qualities of the mentor; Mr. Karthik Sir. Its essential when it comes to any form of coaching, that the mentor has the right qualities and the skill sets which would make the course long lasting and enriching experience for the students. Firstly, the course material is extensive, so even if you are from the non psychology background, like me, it covers more than you can ask for. It also gives you the leverage to master those techniques your good at, it gives you a vast understanding of the various techniques of counselling based on various types of personality types, it offers you live face to face counselling session which over a period of time makes you understand how to use the same techniques in your style to make your counselling session effective, moreover the diploma course focuses a lot on live counselling sessions making it one of a kind counselling course that does not focus only on theory which absolutely has no value if you are unable to practice it, here I want to strongly convey a point that this type of practical sessions are not even taught at the level of the curriculum in colleges. Second part of my feedback is particularly for Kartik Sir, as a person he is very approachable, an amazing guide, very patiently answers all questions, has a god gifted ability to counsel, honest , a down to earth person does show unconditional positive regard for one and all, true to his word and a person to be inspired by. So, after this very long but comprehensive review, if any of you there have ever thought of understanding psychology and counselling skills the right way and really want to implement in their day to day life, I would recommend them to definitely invest your time and money in the Diploma course as I assure you, you will be amazed by what you have gained at the end of the session through knowledge and skill and your view towards life changes. Though counselling is an art, we can always develop it as a skill not only for others but to understand our limited thinking behaviors and make our lives more meaningful with better conflict resolution strategies.

I attended online certification course on EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY.It was a really effective one and worth for money as i had gained a vast knowledge in the field of psychology within few days.This is a most useful one especially for healthcare professionals to know on how to deal with the mental status of the patient and to cope up personal stress.In one aspect,the session was much interactive and interesting.The material provided will be of great use for future reference.Karthik sir on the other hand has carried it out effectively by clarifying our doubts patiently and ensuring that we understood the topic. Hes a much knowledgeable person and has a great insight on the course.The course had actually made me to analyse myself and to know the reason behind my way of behaving.It had also made me to know more on how to react to ppl at different situations ie, at times of grief, handling family situations etc.It has also taught me of time management which is a way more wanted thing in this present generation.Looking forward for more courses in future.If u are a one looking forward to learn psychology, thinking on where to spend ur money or where to spend ur time effectively then i would highly recommend attending course under him as it was 100% effective one!

I would like to thank Mr. Karthik for sharing his knowledge with the budding Counsellors through his varied courses. I had completed my M Sc in Psychology through distance education and hence was very much puzzled when i wanted to start my practice. I later joined the Online Diploma course offered by Mr. Karthik and got great clarity on the counselling techniques and also had chance to observe and handle live counselling sessions. I would strongly recommend the Diploma course conducted by Mr. Karthik at CCS Academy for anyone who wants to become a counsellor. I am personally very happy to have attended the program and took back a lot of knowledge and practical experience.

Attended a two and half hours session today from 5.pm to 7.30 pm..on Introduction to Counselling It was an excellent session by Mr KarthikLakshmanan. He has succeeded in clearing all douts on Counselling,from general, legal,psychological and professional point of view. His simple style of delivery of the rich content also by involing all the partipents is awesome .Mr Karthik has carried out the live counselling session with great ease and professionally by applying psychological techniques very well.A great session indeed!

I attended the online live diploma in counselling and life coaching. It was overall an excellent experience. The course material was well crafted and was rich in content. As a Psychology student, I was only exposed to theoretical knowledge in counselling, this course helped me bridge that gap. We had mock counselling sessions everyday and there was a visible improvement in every participant. The facilitator is very skilled and extremely encouraging. He helped us in every step and patiently helped us improve. I would recommend this course for all Psychology students to help them improve their skills.

I attended 2 weeks Online Live Diploma Course via Google Meet and have completed the course successfully @ CCS Academy. I am new to this field but Karthik sir explained and taught us in such a way that people like me could understand clearly the techniques used in counseling and how to integrate those techniques to help the clients. We had live counseling sessions which helped us to understand choosing the right theory or technique for the clients.The sessions were interactive. The material given was very good with simple explanation of theories. All the topics were covered and explained with examples. It was a great experience. It helped me to get an insight about myself and it is a must attend course for those who would like to proceed their career in the field of life coaching and counselling.

Hereafter I will be very proud to say that Im a student of Mr. Karthik Lakshmanan. I did Online Diploma in Pschology/Counselling. Wonderful training. We learnt step by step explanation of theories and techniques, how to use when doing counselling, live sessions and discussions on how to improve further. That too without boring!! I never thought learning psychology/counselling is as easy as here it was. I felt his expertise in this field while we were learning everyday something. I strongly recommend this course for those who are interested in psychology. I feel blessed that I got the right person at the right time to enhance my career. Thank you Karthik Sir!!!

I am the Director of Value Education Programmes of Brahma Kumaris Mount Abu , having Ph.D in yoga from Annamalai University. I am having 24 Degrees and Diplomas from 9 universities of India.During lock down period I wish to update my counselling techniques through online.I am having Masters degree in Psychology, Masters degree in counselling and Masters degree in counselling and Spiritual Health.Through social media I came in contact with this academy and incidentally joined the PGDiploma course in online that too two weeks for 6hrs per day .as duration.The course is really superb for me for the following reasons:1. Very simple way the complected contents are given2. Not even single minute is wasted throughout the programme.3. Application counselling techniques were given in a lucid way.4. The. Sessions are very much interactive and doubts are cleared then and there .5. Discipline has maintained till last day.6. Easy integration model give me a wonderful experience in counselling.7.earlier I had no dare to start my counselling practice, now I gained confidence to start the same immediately.8. The conduct of the course is such a way that I never believe I can learn these much things with in s short span9. Even one year course content has been given effectively with in the time frame.10. Drama triangle has given very good insight while doing counselling11. Course fee is affordable and cheap to me while comparing the benefits I have derived from this course of short span12. One more interesting thing I leaned from this course is how to become assertive and empathy13. At times one man the director himsf become client and taught us how to become effective counsellor .14. Suggesting full freedom to design and follow your own model and not to become his follower is really wonderful I never expected in this world of selfishness15.The Scope of counselling profession is well defined16. Time management is superb and everyone has got an opportunity to become client as well as Counsellor17.Discussion part, new ideas got while listening to a session and concluding session is really fantastic which teaches different perspectives of a single counselling session.18.Above all how the Director handle all the students of various categories and capabilities at a single point of time are miysterious I think it is due to his vast experience and expertise in the competitive subject19. What he told about one should update ones knowledge according to the need of the hour is really a sense in it and show his commitment to the profession .20.Ethices of the profession too explained very well with various situation cannot be forget by all the students21. He applied very well the Transaction Analysis in his teachings through out the course programme.22. He simply ignored unimportant things to learn and at the same time gave importance to the things to be learned invariably.23. Contact door, Target door and Trap doors are not only explained in detail but also made in it practice in all sessions of counselling made me confident to do counselling .24.Though various schools of thoughts and approaches are explained suitability in Indian context and integration according to the need of the client is practically elaborated for which I am indebted to him for the real applicability of these various techniques25 Teaching the formula of 5 Personality modes and revising the same then and there is of immense help to us studentsIn a nutshell I can say that a years study has been effectively given by the Director through this short span of time .I wish him all success in all his endeavours.long live. God bless him. Om Shanti

Got a new insight. This course will help you to empower and become more aware of yourself. Im glad that I took this course.

I am pursuing MA Psychology at IGNOU. As part of my internship program, I joined CCS Academy’s Online Certification program. For any distance learner, this program is a boon as you will thoroughly understand the subject and will get the learning of 2 years in regular college within a short span of time. The program also has counselling sessions which is really helpful to get hands on experience. Mr Karthik is a thorough professional, his easy integration model approach, command over the subject, making students to understand at ease are applaudable. Overall, this course gives both professional and personal growth. I highly recommend all, whether it is their subject area or not, to join this course to enrich themselves. Jaya V

I did my Diploma in Life coaching and counseling from Mr. Karthik Lakshmanan in CCS academy. Here is my review about the course and the facilitator.About the course: The curriculum of this course is entirely built and taught by the facilitator himself and therefore the effectiveness of the course is retained with great quality. We were taught about the model he built, the techniques used, various theories and approaches. Lots and lots of case studies were discussed to help us see a case from different perspectives and to understand the subject in depth. We have observation sessions where we can observe and learn from the facilitator conducting counselling sessions in real-time. Parallelly, we were also given plenty of opportunities to practice what we have learnt. We were consistently offered support throughout the course. Being able to do such an effective and quality course completely online is an advantage during this pandemic. Finally, it is a skill development course that also prepares us to become successful professionals and better human beings.About the facilitator: The facilitator Karthik sir is an extremely professional, kind and friendly person. He gives us space to express our views without being judgmental. He is empathetic towards others, answers all our questions patiently, offers support wherever he can and never fails to inspire us. I am glad I did this course under him.

I have done my MPhil in counseling psychology and my UG, PG everything in psychology but this course taught me something different which I never learnt in any textbook or through out my work experience. During this course every single minute was worth. I got chance to observe live counseling sessions and as well got chance to do some. I never felt Karthick sir was judgemental and also he respects everyones idea. I truly feel glad that I attended his course. Thank you Sir 😊

Karthik sir explained all the concepts in such a meaningful way that I am confident enough to implement those immediately. A comprehensive number of topics were covered which is requires for us to be an effective counselor. The course has equipped me to choose right approach for the clients I will work with, given me the skills and values to do the same. It has also helped me to be more self aware in my day to day conversations. Overall, a fantastic learning experience!

As the name itself suggests, the everyday psychology course conducted by Mr Karthik was excellent and easily relatable. There were a lot of insights with my own thought process coupled with the science of psychology. I would look at it as an essential exposure for all to understand once own self, to expand to , knowing and dealing from oneself to others that we live with .Thank you CCS fir your noble work 🙏13/07/2021After completing the everyday psychology course with CSS , I enrolled my self for the diploma in life coach and counselling under the guidance of Mr Karthik Lakshman. This was mind blowing as the theories and approaches of psychology was so simplified and made easy to practically apply with live hands on counselling sessions.The way Mr Kartik guides with his simplicity is phenomenal, this course has helped my personal life and has given great insights to my professional leap too .I could not have asked for more in this difficult phase of pandemic . Great offering from CSS my immense gratitude for conducting this course 🙏

I attended an online live diploma course via Google Meet. I found this training program very effective as the facilitator has carefully crafted this program to deliver what is required to become a good counsellor. This interactive program covered all the important theories and was delivered in a simple way with a lot of examples. The facilitator was very open in giving information and shared his experience of choosing the right technique for clients. This gives a lot of confidence to move forward and the live counselling session is one of the important and interesting aspect. After attending the program I felt really empowered. I highly recommend this course for people who want to develop their skills on counselling.
