Overview

Our Depression Counselling Training course is endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme, ensuring your newly-acquired skills will enhance your professional development.

Sobering statistics reveal that approximately 20% of people over the age of 16 in the UK show some signs of depression or anxiety. Depression comes in many forms and the way in which it is treated depends on the type of depression or mood disorder you have.

This Depression Counselling Training course is a stepping stone for aspiring Depression Counsellors and those looking to establish a career in counselling. It covers in-depth knowledge of the types of depression and their causes, treatment, career skills, and much more. You’ll deepen your understanding of different counselling applications and approaches such as Gestalt therapy, developing your knowledge of the responsibilities of a Depression Counsellor. It also covers treatment for depression, including medicines and complementary alternative therapies.

Designed by industry experts, this course is broken down into several manageable modules which we believe will assist you to easily grasp each concept – from the fundamentals to the most advanced aspects of the course.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
