Counsellors work with individuals to support personal development and in times of crisis or distress. The mission is to help bring about change in their lives, while respecting their values and capacity to find their own solutions. Our Counselling Skills Level 2 training can lead to a fulfilling new career and will give you a better understanding of how to best empathise and support those around you. The qualification provides insight into the nature of counselling work and the skills involved. It’s also an ideal introduction that’ll help you to decide whether to proceed with further counselling training.
Counselling is a type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their problems and feelings in a confidential and dependable environment. Our NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills (RQF) qualification explores this concept and introduces you to the core counselling skills used in everyday life. You’ll also look at diversity, ethics, as well as relevant models and approaches that underpin the use of these skills. You’ll also look at how counselling can aid personal development. The qualification would be useful for those who would like to develop their knowledge of counselling, whether in a work environment or at home.
This course is a formally recognised RQF qualification and is recognised throughout the UK, Europe and beyond.
