Course description
For 2024 applications come along to our next Open Day to speak to a member for the team about this course.
This course provides a foundational counselling qualification. It enables students to engage with key theoretical approaches in counselling and related counselling skills, and to learn to integrate them in ways that allow them to be effective practitioners, equipped to work in a range of settings. The course provides both professional and academic training, producing reflective practitioners who are equipped to meet the future challenges of the counselling profession. This includes the inclusion of BACP online and phone therapy (OPT) competencies (BACP, 2021) as part of the training programme. The course is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and subscribes to the BACP Ethical Framework (2018).
Applications to join us in 2024 can be submitted directly to Newman from this September.
