Dip your toe into Counselling Training
Throughout the course of a morning or evening, you will discover all about the training needed to become a properly qualified counsellor in the UK. Indeed, it can be a bit of a minefield! Therefore, this is crucial research that all prospective trainees should do. During the session, you will experience counselling training firsthand with our tutors, and in addition, learn some useful listening skills that help to improve your communication with others.
This very popular course is open to people who are new to the topic and to those who might have had some training elsewhere but simply want to check what Redlands has to offer. Importantly, it is led by an experienced and fully trained counselling tutor, who will also be able to answer any questions you may have.
We have a maximum of 12 participants for this session, ensuring a more personal and supported learning environment.
No commitment

There are no tests or further commitment, but of course we hope you will be inspired and therefore wish to continue your journey.
Counselling training teaches you the skills that make a difference. Trainees learn interpersonal skills, gaining enhanced self-awareness and the ability to manage emotions and stress more effectively. These skills enable you to support others and potentially pursue a career in counselling or related fields.
Where is it held?
The in-person courses will be at our centres in Bournemouth, Dorchester, Shaftesbury or Poole. More information will be given out once you have emailed us. The online courses will be via Zoom.
The next level
The next level is a Short Course (12-15 hours) called Effective Listening Skills. This is a stand-alone course that covers the start of the counselling training diploma levels.
