About the course:
This qualification is designed to give candidates the underpinning knowledge, skills and competencies to use counselling skills ethically and safely in a variety of contexts and roles. Progression will lead to access to the Level 3 (CST-L3) Counselling Qualification
17 Credits
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.
Those who want to improve their professional and personal relationships as part of personal development.
Those who wish to improve communication and listening skills.
This qualification leads to employment and increases employability for those whose role is to support others in sectors such as health and social care, teaching and learning, advocacy and mediation, support and project work, and other helping roles. It provides additional skills for those already in employment and is likely to lead to increased opportunities for promotion and advancement.
To make the distinction between counselling and counselling skills clear, CPCAB refers to the person using counselling skills as a ‘helper’ and the person being helped as a ‘helpee’.[ An example of helping work would be a care assistant (the helper) listening to someone they are looking after (the helpee) who is very worried about the health of a family member. The helper will help them to express their feelings and concerns. They may also guide them to a specific professional who may be able to provide them with the more specialised or in-depth help they may need. The core theoretical model underpinning the course is the Person-Centred Approach. The terms ‘counsellor’ and ‘client’ are not used until the Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies (CST-L3).
