Counselling FdSc

This course provides rigorous training that affords entry into the counselling profession. A major strength of this qualification is the close collaboration with counselling agencies/employers in the development of counselling practice opportunities.

The course is taught at Herefordshire College of Technology. Course design has taken full account of the core competency requirements contained in the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy’s Core Curriculum, published in May 2009. The course takes a Person-Centred Approach as its core model. Academic, skills and personal development work reflect this emphasis, encouraging students to develop as reflective practitioners, who seek to offer a therapeutic relationship which fosters client change and development.

During the first year, you will gain a solid grounding in the Person- Centred Approach and will develop skills, knowledge of other major approaches in counselling and personal awareness/development. Alongside this, you will also complete 50 hours of work-based learning, which means that you will need to be in paid or voluntary employment that will enable them to utilise your developing counselling skills.

During the second year, you will need to complete 150 hours of supervised counselling practice in addition to attending College.

University of Worcester fees apply. Possible additional costs are: 20-30 hours of counselling supervision, which can cost between £30-£40 per hour if not provided by the counselling agency where counselling practice takes place.
