    Description

    This counselling level 3 online course will provide students with a fully recognised RQF qualification once complete. A counsellor is a professional who provides guidance, support, and advice to individuals, couples, families, or groups dealing with personal, emotional, psychological, or social challenges. The specific role of a counsellor can vary depending on their area of expertise, but generally, they aim to help people explore their feelings, understand their problems, and develop coping strategies to improve their well-being and mental health.

    Counsellors can work in various settings, including schools, hospitals, community organisations, private practices, or online. Their ultimate goal is to empower clients to achieve greater self-awareness, resilience, and well-being

    This knowledge based course can be completed totally online without the need for practical placement, which enables students from all over the world achieve their ambitions. Learners will gain an understanding of a range of counselling skills and have the opportunity to examine some of the various schools of thought/theoretical models associated with them. The counselling level 3 online course explores working ethically with counselling skills and aims to enhance knowledge of ethical frameworks and how they relate to counselling and anti-discriminatory practice

    Learners will cover the core skills and allow learners to demonstrate these through a series of written and practical assessments. Using role/play and simulation via video this allows learners to qualify without having a physical placement. Your tutor will guide you on this as you progress through your studies.
