Worthing
The National Counselling Society is a Not for Profit professional association
for counsellors, and we hold an Accredited Register which is recognised by the
Professional Standards Authority. The Society offers a wide variety of online
continuing professional development (CPD) courses in counselling skills and
related topics, designed for counsellors, health and social care professionals,
teachers, and others who work in a public-facing role. While the courses
themselves are not a route to our Accredited Register, as we are an Accredited
Register holder you can rest assured that the high standards we adhere to in the
day-to-day running of the Society are reflected in the quality of the courses on
offer. The courses that the Society has published will focus on counselling and
mental health skills for public-facing practitioners. They are intended to help
public-facing professionals with their day to day work through increased
knowledge and confidence. Often public-facing professionals find themselves in
situations where psychological, emotional or mental health issues have a direct
impact on the kind of care they would like to offer. Our courses have been
designed to help practitioners from all public-facing backgrounds navigate
sensitive topics with confidence, ensuring the public feels listened to and
supported. In addition to basic counselling skills, we also have courses
designed to examine specific situations such as bereavement, self-esteem, and
working with adult survivors of child abuse. Upon completion of any of our
courses you will be awarded a CPD certificate from the Society; many courses
will also be externally validated.
