In recent years, research has proven that counselling is an effective way to help
people with mental health problems. Various programmes to improve access and recruit
more counsellors mean that it is a good time to consider a career in counselling.
Our counselling courses are incredibly popular with students and highly regarded by employers.
The qualification can lead to a professional career as a counsellor but also equips students with
listening skills that can be helpful in a wide variety of professional and voluntary roles.
Experience is essential for job applications so, while you're studying, you can gain practical work
experience in a local counselling agency. Many of our students have moved on to work for local
counselling services or have also successfully started their own counselling practices.
