Counselling Theory

This course provides learners with the opportunity to both fulfil their academic potential and enhance their present and future employment as Counsellors.

Students are guided through professional and personal development to enable them to become autonomous counsellors allied with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework for good practice. This course meets the requirements for eligibility of BACP accreditation. The course is flexible, and can be fitted around other commitments students may have.
