Certificate in Counselling
At Iron Mill College we offer a range of entry level courses, that do not require any previous experience of having studied within the field of counselling and psychotherapy. If you're looking to take your first step towards a new career, are interested in studying counselling for the first time, or want to gain new skills for personal or professional development, this course could be perfect for you.
This course is designed to teach you the basic elements of counselling through humanistic approaches, and therapeutic models that provide preliminary training in the use of counselling skills.
As a relational, specialist, mental health and wellbeing college we will immerse you into the world of counselling. You'll be taught by our highly experienced tutor team all of whom are professional counsellors. We run our classes in small groups, giving a more personal experience.
