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.”
