My profound thanks to MHA for the marvellous services!

As an independent counsellor, I find my membership of MHA helps give me a sense of belonging and perspective in an otherwise rather solitary work-life, apart of course from my clients.

Convenient Study.

Being able to directly upload that information to my ACA account was extremely helpful. I was and still am amazed at the quantity and quality of the courses available.
