Psychotherapy & Counselling Course
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 10 Lessons
This Psychotherapy & Counselling course provides a basis to work from for many other therapies. As a holistic therapist, listening and talking to people is the core of your everyday working environment. Aiming to help and understand individuals, while working towards alleviating their anxieties with compassion, understanding, and guidance are the qualities of a Professional Counsellor and in this course you will learn how to achieve this goal.
This subject will act as a valuable ‘stepping stone’ to our Hypnotherapy courses. Also as a grounding for our Life Coaching, CBT, NLP and other appropriate ‘talking therapy’ subjects. All practicing Holistic Therapists will benefit from studying this subject in their day to day interaction with their clients.
This subject is complemented by our Life Coaching Course.

I have enjoyed studying the Psychotherapy and Counselling Course with the School of Natural Health Sciences very much and I am delighted to have received a Grade A pass, and look forward to receiving my diploma. At this time I would like to take the opportunity to thank all who have been involved in my study.
Everyone has been most helpful. In respect of the self study courses it was always good to know that I was on the right track with my course work. On the two occasions I did a tutored course, Mr George Fortescue was my life line. I found his support and advice most helpful.
All in all I have had a great time studying. I was raised in the belief never to stop learning as all knowledge expands and enhances your life, I have certainly found this to be true with your courses.

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
There are no time restrictions, you simply study and return work when you wish. Our courses do not expire, so take your time and enjoy the gentle learning curve. You simply work through the assignments at your own pace, free from the restrictions and pressures of working to deadlines.
On average students take approximately 200 hours, 3 – 4 months, to complete a non advanced course. Around 300 hours 5 – 6 months for an advanced course plus time for practical work with your volunteers for any hands-on therapy.
This is simply a guide; everyone studies at their own pace.
There are question papers at the end of each lesson, and a final question paper at the end of each of the courses which are all conducted via email. No attendance is required.
The Final Exam is classed as an open book exam so you can consult your course material to help if necessary.
An insurable Practitioner/Therapist Level Qualification is awarded on successful completion of this course.
