This new Counselling and Therapeutic course is the first step on your path to become a counsellor. This course provides hands-on, practical learning for those who want to practice counselling or open their own counselling service and is taught by practising counsellors. The CertHE provides excellent progression opportunities and will enable you to develop an understanding of the principles and practices of communication and counselling approaches. This course will also allow you to consolidate learning in practical counselling techniques, informed by the theory of counselling practice. This counselling course will provide you with hands-on learning in a simulated environment, mirroring what you will experience in the counselling profession. After successfully completing the CertHE Counselling and Therapeutic Communication, you may choose to progress onto the FdSc Counselling and Therapeutic Communication course. You will also be able to work in pastoral care, youth work and family support work.
