Becoming an Effective Rescuer
How to Help Clients Support Others Without Losing Themselves

Are your clients exhausted from always being the helper, fixer, or peacekeeper?
This course is designed for counsellors who work with people-pleasers, chronic rescuers, and masked clients who over-function in relationships — often at the cost of their own wellbeing.
Help your clients shift from emotional absorption to empowered support with practical tools, language strategies, and boundary-based techniques that truly work.
