CK Counselling and Training Services

464 learners. 464 stories. 464 reasons for starting.

At CK Counselling & Training Services, we're incredibly proud to have supported 464 learners on their counselling journeys.

But 464 isn't just a number.

Behind it are people.

People who decided it was time for a change.

People who wanted to understand others more deeply.

People who wanted to develop their skills.

People who dreamed of becoming counsellors.

And people who simply wanted to make a difference.

Every learner brought their own story, their own experiences and their own reason for starting.

And that's what makes what we do so special.

Could your counselling journey start with CK?

Not sure what to expect from our CPCAB Level 2 Counselling Studies course?

Here's what one of our current Level 2 learners had to say about their experience:

"I signed up to explore the idea of becoming a counsellor one day. What I didn't expect was how much it would elevate the way I show up every day.

My biggest takeaways from the course have been:

Empathy always wins. In every situation, the greatest gift you can give someone, including yourself, is empathy.

Curiosity is the new assertiveness. I started my corporate career back in 2010, when being assertive was considered the key to success. Today, it's about curiosity, understanding people on a personal level, and leading with unconditional positive regard.

The power of silence. Giving someone the space to think, reflect, and absorb, without rushing to fill it, is one of the most valuable tools you can have.

Sitting with someone through their feelings is a privilege, and not something I take lightly.

And finally… I can do it. I can balance my job, being a mum, and life in general with studying and homework. So, I'm going to keep going and start Level 3 next month."

Whether you're considering a career in counselling, looking to develop your communication skills, or simply want to better understand yourself and others, our CPCAB Level 2 Counselling Studies course is a fantastic place to begin.

Join us this September and take the first step on your own journey. We can't wait to welcome you.

Thank you

Fantastic feedback received from our learners who have just completed our CPD on Setting up in Private Practice with Paul:

"I particularly appreciated the step-by-step guidance on where to start and what to do, as setting up a private practice can feel overwhelming. The training made the process seem much more manageable."

"I’ve honestly felt quite in the dark about the steps involved in setting up a private practice, and this training has given me a much firmer understanding of what’s needed and why"

This course is also now available as a distance learning course
