Level 2 Counselling Skills Course

18 Weeks | Tuesdays (Daytime) | Starting September

This 16-week Level 2 Counselling Skills course offers a supportive and engaging introduction to counselling, designed for those who want to develop both practical skills and deeper self-awareness.

Held on Tuesdays during the day, the course provides a consistent and structured learning environment where you can build confidence at your own pace while being part of a reflective and collaborative group.

A Personalised Approach to Learning

At the heart of this course is a strong commitment to meeting individual learning needs. We recognise that every learner brings unique experiences, strengths, and ways of processing information.

  • Teaching methods are varied and inclusive

  • Learning is adapted to suit different styles (visual, auditory, experiential, reflective)

  • Additional support is available where needed

  • The environment is designed to be safe, respectful, and accessible

We place particular emphasis on supporting neurodivergent learners, ensuring that course delivery and materials are flexible, clear, and responsive. You will be encouraged to learn in ways that work best for you, without pressure to conform to a single approach.

Personal Development at the Core

Counselling training is not just about learning techniques — it is also about understanding yourself.

Throughout the course, you will:

  • Explore your own values, beliefs, and life experiences

  • Develop self-awareness and emotional insight

  • Reflect on how your personal development connects to counselling practice

  • Build confidence in using counselling skills in a meaningful way

This reflective process is supported carefully and sensitively, allowing you to grow both personally and professionally.

Flexible and Inclusive Assessment

Assignments are designed with flexibility in mind and can be adjusted to suit different learning styles and needs.

This may include:

  • Alternative ways of presenting work

  • Clear, structured guidance for each task

  • Opportunities to discuss and shape how you demonstrate your learning

  • Support with organisation, planning, and reflection

The aim is to ensure that assessment is fair, accessible, and truly reflective of your understanding, rather than limited by format.

What You Will Gain

By the end of the course, you will:

  • Develop core counselling and listening skills

  • Understand key counselling concepts and approaches

  • Improve your ability to communicate with empathy and clarity

  • Gain increased self-awareness and confidence

  • Be better equipped for further training or personal development
