The COSCA Counselling Skills course is a general introduction to counselling course, aimed at individuals working or volunteering in a helping role or anyone wishing to pursue a career in counselling or psychotherapy.

Modules 1+2 will focus on listening and responding skills and seek to develop the participant’s self awareness. The modules are practice based and provide an introduction to the core conditions which underpin the major counselling approaches.

What our past students say...

"I gained all of the above and so much more This was as much to do with how the training was delivered, the trainer was excellent and the course was further enhanced by the fact that we had a very good group, this meant triad and group work/discussions were really engaging and dynamic "

"The course has completely gained what I expected with a lot more I have developed an in-depth knowledge about all the theoretical aspects concerning counselling, as well as being able to undergo a journey of growth myself I never expected this at the part of the course but it has definitely been beneficial to myself "

"This course exceeded any expectations that I had and has taught me so many things far more than I ever imagined This course has been one of the most positive things I have ever done, and will have a profound effect on my life, and those around me"

While the course did not in fact qualify me to volunteer as a counsellor, it gave me something far more valuable: a lived experience of the ethos of counselling as provided by our trainers, Neil and Hugh, and experience of the therapeutic process both as a client and a trainee therapist. The reflective work I have engaged in as a result of this course has been incredibly profound. Although the course did not give me everything I expected, it gave me far more than I imagined would be possible in such a short time.

The course was very well structured with a lot of opportunities to ask questions and practice what we have learned
