The Distance Learning Foundation Counselling Skills course will offer you training in core counselling skills which can be applied in a range of interpersonal 'helping' and consultative roles. In particular, there will be a specific focus on professional areas of application related to healthcare and humanitarian sectors. The course will also help you develop a critical understanding of the underpinning theory and research evidence relating to what works in counselling.

 

The course gives you the chance to practice your counselling skills weekly during experiential sessions online (that can be video-recorded) with your classmates and to receive feedback live or via email from lecturers and other peers.
