Course Aims

If you are keen to develop your knowledge and understanding of counselling/helping skills, then our Introduction to Counselling Skills course is the perfect course for you!

Counselling/helping skills are useful for anyone who has a personal or professional interest in increasing their knowledge and experience of active listening through self-awareness and personal development.

Training to become a counsellor or learning helping skills can be extremely beneficial and rewarding to you personally and professionally. It is recognised that these capabilities have become an indispensable and much-valued part of modern-day life and provide a way of making a genuine difference to people.
