Why counselling?
Counselling is a personally and professionally rewarding career choice. Counselling qualifications enhance your skills to work constructively with people who need time, space and skilled help to overcome difficulties for issues they may be having.
You may choose to put your skills to use in some of the following areas including youth work, telephone help lines, voluntary organizations, nursing, welfare and advice work.
Counsellors work with clients in a private and confidential setting to explore any difficulties they may be having or issues they need to resolve.
