What is counselling?

Counselling can take all sorts of different forms, depending on the persons needs and what type of therapy may be suitable. Most therapy will be planned and occur in regular sessions.

People can see a counsellor on their own, but they can also see them with family, partners, or with a group of people with a similar issue. During the session, the counsellor may run through specific exercises to help with the problem, or they may just make the person(s) talk more generally how they’re feeling.

The therapist will be impartial but they will also be understanding. They will give options and information on what things may help the problem, but they won’t tell them what they should think or do.

Our Introduction to Counselling course teaches you how to explore clients’ feelings, understand their situations and make positive changes to their lives. This course is the perfect introduction to your study of counselling.
