Hey. I'm Anne and I am lucky enough to work with a team of exceptional lecturers to deliver our BACP accredited gold standard diploma. We continually strive to ensure that this course enables you to become the counsellor you can be, and equips you to work in an ethical and independent way. I also know how life changing this training can be. Looking forward to working with you all.

Anne Davis | Programme Manager | Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling

Year 1

Year 2

You will be learning the following modules on the Diploma in Person-centred Counselling:

• Counselling Psychology
• Counselling Practice
• Personal and Professional Development 

These modules are repeated in the second year.

It is a necessary expectation for this course that you have a suitable device and sufficient internet connection from home to attend Teams video calls, compose presentations and essays and utilise Windows 360, Outlook, Moodle, and Teams software. A mobile phone will not be sufficient to complete your coursework. It is useful to bring writing resources to all classes.
