Sometimes this is available at the placement itself or sometimes it needs to be arranged separately. This is an essential part of the placement process. The cost of this can range from £35-50 per session.\nPersonal Therapy – It is vital that Student Counsellors engage with their own therapy as part of their personal development. Counsellors must be registered with a professional body such as BACP or UKCP and have at least level 4 qualifications. The cost per session can be between £40-60.\nBACP Membership – Student Membership of the BACP is also important and costs £70 per year.",

"summary": "If you are a good listener with a high degree of empathy and want to follow a career supporting others through counselling therapies, this course may be for you.\nThe first year lays the foundations of learning, with a broad introduction to counselling and applied psychology and the users of these services. This develops core skills, while preparing you for specialist subjects in year 2, or for employment.\n\nYou will gain a wide range of knowledge linked to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace and clinic scenarios.\nIn the second year you will specialise in a counselling related occupational area. You will develop and apply your own ideas to studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use theory and practice in a wide range of therapeutic situations.\n\nOn completion, you will have a sound understanding of the principles in your area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely in counselling and psychology practice.\n\n**Are you prepared for the challenge?** Can you handle the emotional demands and acknowledge the importance of personal and professional growth to support others? If so, this course might be the ideal qualification to launch your professional career.\n\n**Course delivery** - This course is delivered 2 days per week.",
