Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies is intended for people who want to become counsellors and enter a Diploma programme or for those who need exceptional communication skills in their job, for instance, health care professionals.

The Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies deepens your comprehension of the three main theoretical approaches to counselling: psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural, as well as Transactional Analysis. The course provides the opportunity to strengthen your use of counselling skills in the work place, building on the skills learnt in Level 2, and prepares you for the professional Diploma in Counselling, Level 4 course.

The tutors are themselves working counsellor practitioners who have a passion to maintain the standards of the profession and encourage the best qualities within their students. Students will develop supportive peer relationships, as group work is a key element of the training. Modules include understanding the counselling relationship, ethical contexts and working empathically with difference and diversity issues, theories of counselling and mental health, working within a user-centred approach, using reflection and supervision to support counselling studies.
