COUNSELLING
FRANCESCA FOUNDATION DEGREE PERSON CENTRED COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY After running a wedding and events business, Francesca felt ready for a more fulfilling career and was inspired by her own experience with therapy to pursue counselling. As a mum of three returning to education, she chose Preston College for its supportive atmosphere and clear progression route. Starting at Level 2, she is now in her first year of the Foundation Degree in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy, and preparing for her first placement – working with real clients. Beyond academic learning, Francesca has grown in confidence and self-worth, sharing, “The support, community, and hands-on experience have been invaluable.” With aspirations to open her own private practice, Francesca adds, “The counselling courses at Preston College have breathed new life into me and given me a renewed sense of purpose.”
NEAL COUNSELLING (FAST TRACK) LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATE Neal, a professional actor, director, and writer in the film, TV, and stage industry, enrolled on the Counselling (Fast Track) course, seeking a new challenge and a more secure, fulfilling future. Inspired by his brother - who studied Counselling from Level 2 through to Level 4 at Preston College and spoke highly of his experience – Neal felt confident he was in the right place to begin his own journey. After completing the Level 2 Counselling Skills Award last year, Neal progressed onto the Level 3 Diploma, opting for the fast track option to fit around his busy schedule. Neal enjoys the person-centred approach of the course, which allows him to reflect and develop personally. He has gained theoretical knowledge, ethical considerations, and practical skills, all while being supported by approachable, knowledgeable tutors. Neal praises the supportive and highly knowledgeable staff, engaging lessons, and plans to continue his counselling journey with the Level 4 Diploma.
