All of our tutors are accredited members of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) or National Hypnotherapy Society, guaranteeing the highest quality training. Our courses equip you with the knowledge and skills to navigate complex emotions and support clients on their journeys towards self-discovery and well-being. The NCPS accredits our courses for counselling and the National Hypnotherapy Society for hypnotherapy. Additionally, they are endorsed by Prince's Trust Qualifications, guaranteeing their validation and listing on the RQF (Ofqual Regulated Qualifications Framework).

We provide a diverse range of counselling courses to suit your needs and experience level. However, for those seeking a comprehensive and cost-effective path to becoming a counsellor, we recommend the Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling as it fully meets current professional requirements.

The Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling is a comprehensive 3-year counselling course that includes our Level 3 Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Introduction to Counselling Skills and our Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory as the first two years of the syllabus. Opt for this level 5 professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling if you wish to become a professional counsellor and want to gain, through qualification, a route onto an Accredited Register approved by the Professional Standards Authority.
