The distance learning Counselling Skills course is the perfect home study course to ensure that you succeed in this exciting field. Our uniquely flexible Counselling Skills home learning course has no time limits. You can start your home learning course whenever you like and there are no deadlines to meet, so you can adapt your distance education course to meet your needs, all from the comfort of your own home.
Once you have registered on the distance education Counselling Skills course you will be assigned a personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. Your dedicated personal tutor is always on hand to answer any query you may have, no matter how big or small, and you will also have access to a dedicated course advisor who offers guidance and advice.
Counselling is essentially a lively, human and personal experience between two people. Therefore, it is a process which requires commitment of time and effort from both parties. The aim is for the counsellor to help the client find their own answers and to become more in charge of their lives rather than less so; to be able to live their own life rather than be lived by it.
