This course will provide a range of opportunities for you to learn about yourself, whilst developing the skills required to become a fully qualified person-centred counsellor1. You will develop a strong theoretical knowledge base, alongside the practical skills needed to become an effective person-centred counsellor. You will experience an exciting, demanding, yet rewarding programme which will enrich your life and develop your critical reflections skills.
Whist this is a full-time course, typically this course generally only requires 1-2 days on campus attendance, supported by self-directed study. This means you can continue to work alongside your studies and balance other commitments.
1Students are eligible to apply for individual membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Modules you may study include:
- The Person-centred Approach
- Starting Counselling Practice
- Fitness to Practice
- Specific Client Issues
- Counselling Practice
- Working with Groups
- Self-evaluation
You will require individual supervision whilst in placement and need to join the BACP. This will incur expenditure.
Please note that from Level 5 you will require a placement which you will need to source independent of the college.
Please be aware that depending on the organisation you may require some form of DBS check. You will need to arrange this directly with the placement provider, and cover any costs involved.
