Preston College Adult Course Guide 2026-2027

COUNSELLING

Counsellors play a vital role in supporting the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Working in confidential settings, they help people 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 well prepared to offer effective, ethical support. As a qualified counsellor, you can work across a variety of settings, including schools, colleges, universities, GP surgeries, hospitals, addiction services, disability support groups, workplaces, and private practice. You may

choose counselling as a new career pathway or as a way to enhance your existing professional skills. If you’re new to counselling, you’ll start at Level 2, progressing through Level 3, with further opportunities available at Level 4 and degree-level pathways. We also offer a range of short courses such as Mental Health First Aid, Understanding Children and Young People’s Mental Health, and Understanding Autism – ideal for broadening your knowledge and increasing the positive impact you make in your work.
