Training to be a counsellor is demanding. It involves students turning inwards to reflect, evaluate and grow and this process can highlight feelings of fear and self-criticism.

Compassion Focused Therapy is a powerful way to help silence the inner critic. It can help trainee counsellors learn to relate to themselves with warmth, understanding and courage. That's why Compassion Focused Therapy is an integral part of our professional Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychological Therapy.

Training to be a counsellor requires a person to acquire practical skills alongside a knowledge of therapeutic approaches and models.

One of the ways of gaining valuable experience is by seeing real clients on placement.

The placement offers a chance for students to practise in a supervised clinical setting what they have learnt in the classroom. It's an exciting part of learning to be a counsellor.

When it comes to counselling training, you may expect it to be very practical. Counselling is all about the relationship between client and counsellor, so of course the practical nature of counselling is vital.

What you may not expect is the academic side of training and you may wonder why this is actually necessary.

Our latest blog post dives deeper into the academic side of training and explores the many benefits of understanding multiple perspectives and theories when working with a client.
