Overview
The Counselling Centre offers a variety of training opportunities which benefit from taking place within an active Counselling Service.
These include an 8 week Introduction to Counselling Skills Course and a one year Certificate Counselling Course. These provide the opportunity for professional development, increased self awareness and a foundation for Diploma trainings.
In addition we also provide regular opportunities for qualified and student counsellors, both from within and external to our service, to attend short courses, clinical workshops, training days and educational week-ends on specific subjects such as short term counselling and marital/couples counselling. These provide opportunities for the ongoing learning and further development of theoretical understandings and practical skills as well as an environment to meet and share experiences with other counsellors and therapists.
In addition to the above, we offer placements for suitable applicants who are undergoing compatible training and have reached the appropriate level.
