Description
This distance learning qualification would be useful for anyone who would like to develop their use of counselling skills for use in either work or in a personal capacity.
This qualification aims to introduce learners to the use of counselling skills in everyday life and work, and some of the approaches that underpin the use of these skills.
The objectives are to help learners to:
- develop counselling skills
- understand the different approaches involved in the use of counselling skills
- appreciate the importance of self-development
You will have the opportunity to investigate the knowledge and skills needed to use counselling skills and engage in a helping interaction appropriately.
To enrol on this course, you will be asked to book an interview session in one of our centres which should take around 60-90 minutes. If attending a session in person is not possible for you, please ring us on 0330 332 7997 to book a phone call. Our friendly Customer Engagement team and a dedicated course tutor will be there to support you in completing all the necessary sign-up paperwork and assessments as required. We will also tell you more about the course, what to expect from your time with us and arrange a start date (subject to availability).
