Course Description

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. The distance learning Counselling Skills course is the perfect home study course to ensure that you succeed in this exciting field.
