This course will facilitate the underpinning knowledge, skills and competencies to use counselling skills ethically and safely in a variety of helping roles. The helping role refers to a broad range of helping interactions, which are different from using counselling skills in a �professional helping relationship'. This would involve a more in-depth workplace helping relationship and would require a more in-depth level of knowledge and skills, which are not covered on this Level 2 course.

At this level, the use of counselling skills involves carrying out a range of helping interactions that may involve alleviating immediate emotional distress, helping others to clarify and prioritise concerns or facilitating access to other appropriate means of support.

This qualification is for:

• Those starting the first level of training as a professional counsellor

• Those who want to learn counselling skills in other professional or helping roles such as care assistant, key worker, HR Officer etc.

• Those who want to improve their professional and personal relationships as part of personal development.

The course runs on Tuesday evening 6-9pm. Occasionally you will have a 1:1 progress review with your tutor and so will need to come in earlier between 5-6pm.
