Are you curious about counselling or looking to deepen your ability to listen, understand, and support others – at home, at work, or in your community?
Whether you’re considering a career change, returning to work after a break, or simply looking for more meaningful connection in your life, our new Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills could be your next step.
What is this course about?
This is a foundational counselling skills course designed to introduce you to key helping skills, develop your self-awareness, and build your understanding of human relationships and emotional wellbeing.
You don’t need previous experience – just a willingness to explore, reflect and grow.
Who is it for?
This course is ideal for people who are:
- Returning to work or exploring new career paths
- Working in schools, healthcare, housing, or social care
- Employed in community, youth, or justice services
- Supporting others through mental health, addiction, or life challenges
- Parents, carers, or volunteers wanting to communicate better
- Interested in personal development or improving relationships
“You don’t have to want to become a counsellor to gain something powerful from this course.”
What you’ll learn
- Listening deeply and with empathy
- Setting healthy boundaries
- Understanding yourself and your patterns
- Building trust and psychological safety
- Core theories like the Person-Centred Approach, Attachment Theory, and Trauma-Informed Practice
- How to support others without ‘fixing’ them
You’ll be part of a small, supportive group where learning is experiential, reflective, and safely held.
