COUNSELLING
Counsellors play a vital role in supporting the health and wellbeing of society. Working in confidential settings, they help individuals navigate a wide range of complex and often sensitive issues. At Preston College, our counselling courses focus on developing self-reflection, resilience, and professional practice, ensuring you are equipped to provide meaningful and effective support to others. As a qualified counsellor, you can work in many environments, including schools, colleges, universities, GP surgeries, hospitals, addiction services, disability support groups, workplaces, and private practice. Many people choose counselling as a new career path, while others train to enhance their existing skills.
For those new to the profession, you will begin at Level 2, progressing through to Level 3, with further opportunities available from September 2026, at Level 4, as well degree- level pathways. In addition, we offer a suite of short courses designed to complement and expand your skill set, including Mental Health First Aid and Understanding Children and Young People’s Mental Health. These courses are perfect for those looking to strengthen their knowledge, broaden their expertise, or better support the people they work with.
