Do you see yourself helping others out in their times of need? Then this Addiction Counselling QLS Level 3 course could be perfect for you.
There is a national shortage of qualified therapists able to help people overcome problems associated with addiction. Thousands of people suffer from addictive behaviour and many seek professional help to overcome it.
If you are already working as a counsellor, this Addiction Counselling QLS Level 3 course is an excellent opportunity to specialise in the area of addiction and addictive behaviour. However, the course may also appeal to novices who are considering a career in counselling.
At the end of this course, students will be able to join and become a member of the ACCPH. The ACCPH is an independent self-regulated professional body for counsellors, psychotherapists and hypnotherapists.
You will help people struggling with addiction in different ways, from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).
CBT helps individuals by identifying their problematic behaviours and turning them into positives. Counselling provides people with addictions to think, feel and act by interrupting the cycle of addiction.
DBT, on the other hand, is based on CBT and is a type of talking treatment. By allowing them to experience, recognise and accept their difficult emotions, the aim is to help them learn to manage those emotions.
