Certificate in Counselling Skills – online (30-hour course)

This 30-hour online beginners Certificate in Counselling Skills course is for those who are at the beginning phase of their counselling practice and would like to gain practical knowledge and confidence.

During the course, we will explore what the role of the therapist is, how to develop and maintain a therapeutic relationship, and a range of interventions. These seemingly basic skills are the building blocks of all future advanced skills.

Training Overview

In this experiential training, we will consider one piece of theory or a specific intervention, before going into smaller groups to practice the skills we will be learning. With tutor support, you will gain feedback and understanding around both your strengths and what your learning edges are.

Great course, great tutors, great levels of interaction with tutors and other attendees and really helped with my confidence with counselling skills. – Course Participant, February 2025

This course was not a manifestation of a textbook- perfect for real learning! Zaynab and Liz and their connection was felt, in their responsiveness, skills, knowledge and experience. I felt held and inspired. The exercise and feedback on countertransference- super helpful. This course is beyond a textbook, based in the reality of the therapy relationship. – Lou, September 2024

Very safe place. Sharing about client work/challenges and sharing different options. Intersectionality explorations and transferences. Real privilege to have an intimate weekend of training. Learnt a lot about my own process and allowed me to see areas of growth more clearly Zay + Liz= dream team! -Becs, September 2024
