Overview

Counsellors and therapists deal with a broad range of difficulties including redundancy, marital problems, alcoholism, eating disorders, self-esteem and bereavement. This integrated course is based upon the theory that life's difficulties are perceived and tackled by the individual in relation to a host of social factors such as family makeup and background, ethnicity, cultural, educational and economic circumstances.

About Professional Therapeutic Counselling

Using such an approach, the therapist's task is to work with the client within this context as briefly and economically as possible in order to reframe the perception of and approach to problem management and resolution.

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.
