Course description
Foundation Certificate in Counselling Skills
This foundation level course provides students with an opportunity to learn about counselling and psychotherapy whilst developing their counselling skills. Students will learn skills which can be used to go on to counselling or psychotherapy training or can be used in their existing workplace. In addition to learning counselling skills, students participate in a personal development group which allows them to expand their self-awareness and interpersonal skills.
This course is ideal for anyone who would like to learn new skills, discover more about themselves, or find out whether a career as a counsellor or psychotherapist is for them. Counselling skills training is a prerequisite for many other counselling and psychotherapy training courses.
Suitability - Who should attend?
