The Institute of Counselling was founded in 1985 as a Christian based, not for profit independent educational body. It is committed to promoting pastoral care throughout the services it provides.
The Aims of the Institute of Counselling are:
(a) to promote the training and development of counselling skills, (b) to provide opportunities for continuing professional development, (c) to produce and distribute counselling skills training resources and (d) to provide a counselling service for individuals needing counselling.The Institute provides a wide range of counselling and related courses. Students enrol with assurance and confidence on our quality courses, which are fully backed by the experience and resources of the Institute of Counselling.
In its early years the Institute offered only courses in Clinical and Pastoral Counselling, within a pastoral context. Since 1985, over 18,000 students from the UK and overseas have enrolled on these courses.
In recent years, has also produced a selection of further courses which follow the clinical person-centred approach developed by Carl Rogers and others.
The Institute is committed to providing counselling skills training to all who will benefit from the courses. On this basis a non-discriminatory policy is operated with regard to students' background, culture, ethnic origin, gender, age or creed.
The Institute's counselling skills courses are MODULAR. Each module comprises 10 lessons with 5 tutor marked assignments. Each module is designed for 150 hours of study over a period of six months, although there is the flexibility of studying longer than six months within each module. The four modules are described below. While these descriptions are common to all of our Counselling Skills courses, the actual lesson contents may vary between the Clinical and Pastoral courses, the General Counselling Skills and the Counselling Skills (Healthcare) courses.
