COUNSELLING

STEPHEN COUNSELLING (FAST TRACK) LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATE Following recovery from a chronic illness, Stephen gained a new perspective on life and the link between mental and physical health. Experiencing counselling during his recovery inspired him to pursue a more meaningful career focused on supporting others. Returning to education as an adult felt like a significant step, but Stephen quickly built confidence in a welcoming and supportive environment, that helped him quickly feel at ease. Through the course, he is developing core counselling skills alongside advanced communication and listening techniques, benefiting both his studies and everyday life. Stephen is now working towards qualifying as a counsellor and psychotherapist through future study.

“My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner – my time here has been life-changing, helping me grow in confidence and find a new direction.”

JENNIFER FOUNDATION DEGREE PERSON CENTRED COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY Jennifer chose this course to progress her career and build on her experience of receiving person centred therapy, with the aim of supporting others. Currently self-employed as a coach and working remotely due to disability, she wanted to further develop her skills and expand the impact of her work. On the course, Jennifer has strengthened her critical thinking and communication skills, while gaining a deeper understanding of herself and her personal outlook. Supportive and approachable tutors have played a key role in her learning experience, particularly through access to one-to-one tutorials that provide valuable guidance on both clinical practice and academic work. Jennifer plans to continue her studies and progress to a research Master’s degree.

“The openness and friendlessness of the team has supported my growth in a way that truly meets my needs.”
