Course Specification
This two-year part-time qualification gives you the knowledge, skills and competencies to work as a therapeutic counsellor in an agency context in both health care and non-medical settings.
There are many different agencies and many types of associated counselling services, TCH will provide you with a framework that includes both a line manager and clinical supervision. Successful completion of this course means that you will be able to provide a therapeutic counselling service – initially with TCH leading to independent practice.
Your journey of self-development continues through this course as you reflect on your learning and how an understanding of counselling theory can assist with both an understanding of self and your work with others. You will not be a trained counsellor at the end of this course, however, this qualification is an essential part of the progression route towards being able to work as a counsellor.
