Do you have an interest in counselling and helping others? Perhaps you’re already using counselling skills in your professional or voluntary work and want to broaden your horizons. Our Advanced Counselling Level 4 covers key approaches to short-term and goal-focused counselling and self-awareness. An ideal qualification for anyone looking to study counselling at a higher level, improve their prospects or expand their knowledge.
Our Advanced Counselling Level 4 Diploma has Online Quality Checked training recognition with the National Counselling Society (NCS). Great news for trainee-counsellors looking for a credible counselling course.
Important: We strongly recommend having a Level 3 Counselling qualification. This is because a strong groundwork of the basics will greatly help you on the Advanced Counselling Level 4.
Our Advanced Counselling Diploma provides insight into the knowledge and skills of counsellors. First, you’ll learn the distinction between counselling and psychotherapy before looking at the need for clinical supervision.
As you progress, you’ll master key skills counsellors use every day to help people manage conditions such as anxiety. Moreover, you’ll learn the importance of boundaries and confidentiality in a counselling relationship.
Finally, we’ll look at self-awareness, the benefits of SMART goals, and various approaches to therapy. In addition, there will be many exercises to aid your studies, including Kolb’s learning styles and the experimental learning style. As a result, you’ll complete the course with an advanced understanding of counselling.
An ideal course for anyone who has studied Counselling Skills at Level 3. This step up expands on what you will have previously learned with more advanced concepts and a deeper exploration of key approaches and theories. It’s also a ideal way to develop new skills or evolve the skills you may already have while studying counselling.
For instance, you may be a keen observer or a good listener who can build rapport with others. Similarly, you may be good at reading body language and know how to respond to make someone feel comfortable. Don’t have these skills? You can easily develop or fine-tune them with the right practical experience and theory work.
Our Advanced Counselling Level 4 Diploma was awarded ‘Quality Checked’ training status with the NCS. Great news for trainee-counsellors looking for a credible counselling course to study from the comforts of home.

I studied my Level 3 with Oxbridge and it was great – I have worked in the counselling industry for quite some time but never had any real training in it – everything I knew was learnt on the job. I wanted something a bit more formal to back up my experience with. After fabulous results in Level 3 I am doing Level 4 now and only wish I had done this sooner.
I enrolled on 2 courses with Oxbridge and I can 100% vouch for their professionalism and quality of service.
I had the pleasure of dealing with Katie and Dan, whilst discussing my enrolment and finance options. They were both an absolute delight to deal with, and managed to calm my nerves and give me clear instructions, leading to a positive outcome! Thank you
It’s hard work when working full time, but that’s the beauty of learning in this way – it’s all at my own speed. The quality of the learning materials is high and there is support if needed. This is my second course with Oxbridge and I’ve found each experience to be first class.
I’m extremely proud of my results and would like to thank everyone at Oxbridge for such great service and experience.
