Is the Certification course on line?

Yes, there are a few online certified courses available in philosophical counselling, so you can definitely learn from Guwahati without needing to relocate.

For example, some institutes in India offer structured online programs with practical training and live sessions. One such course includes around 50 online lectures along with counselling practice sessions, which helps build real skills, not just theory (Philosophical Counselling India)

You can also look into organizations like the Philosophical Practitioners’ Association of India (PPAI), which conduct certification programs in philosophical counselling from time to time (PPAI)

If you’re open to international options, there are fully online training programs as well that run in multiple levels and focus on developing counselling skills step by step (Institut de Pratiques Philosophiques)

My suggestion:

Start with a short certificate course (intro level)
Then move to advanced or diploma-level training
Check if the course includes practical counselling sessions
Also, before enrolling, you can review course structure or materials in an html viewer or similar tool to understand what exactly is being taught.

Hope this helps a bit.
