What the college says

Throughout the course, you will explore key counselling theories, including person-centred care and cognitive. You will gain an understanding of how these theories can be applied in real-life situations to support individuals in need. The course will also guide you through practical approaches to counselling, helping you develop key skills in communication, empathy, and active listening. Additionally, you will examine the role of values and beliefs in the counselling process, reflecting on your own self-awareness and understanding.
