How to Apply

How to apply for counselling training

Applying for counselling training is not simply an administrative step. It is part of the learning process.

We invite you to approach this application as a space for reflection, designed to help you think about your readiness, your motivations and what it might mean to begin training at this stage in your life.

We take care to ensure that our training is right for you and right for the profession. That means considering your wellbeing, your development and the responsibilities that come with working ethically with others.

We are interested in you as a person, not just your qualifications. This is the beginning of a professional journey, and we want it to start in the right place.

Completing the application is the first step in shaping your professional identity.
