Our counselling skills course serves as an introduction to the main theories and challenges faced by counselling practitioners. Person-centred theory, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic theory are some of the concepts about which you will learn. As well as these theoretical concepts, you will learn about the practical skills involved with active listening, self-reflective practice and helping individuals open up to others and how to deal with stigmas related to mental health. We would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to start learning more about what it takes to be a counsellor, or to add the skills to their existing careers. The course is ideal for anyone who works in roles with pastoral responsibilities such as, youth workers, teachers, health and social care workers, and roles in coaching and mediation
Study for the course takes place in an online virtual learning environment (VLE) where you can study at any time and at your own pace. We ask that learners complete their courses within the given timeframe and that as a broad average most courses can take approximately 6-8 hours per week to complete. However, timeframes are flexible on a person-by-person basis should any learners require reasonable adjustments to their study plans.
