Want to develop your communication skills and support others effectively? Take your first step into counselling with this Level 2 qualification.
This course is designed for those who wish to develop their communication and counselling skills in a supportive learning environment. It is particularly suitable if you are returning to education or looking to build confidence in your written and spoken English.
Throughout the course, you will explore key counselling concepts, including personal development, the use of counselling skills and the theories that underpin professional practice.

- Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills
By the end of the course, you will have built a strong foundation for further study and personal development, as well as improved confidence in your communication skills. Please note: this course does not qualify you to practise as a counsellor; further study would be needed.
What you’ll cover:
- Developing effective communication and listening skills
