​​

This 30-week post-qualification programme is designed for qualified counsellors who are moving from training into professional practice and want a structured, reflective space to consolidate their work.

​

The course focuses on applying theory in practice, developing robust ethical reasoning, and strengthening professional identity. Learners explore defensible decision-making processes, work with client vignettes, and reflect on their own practice through discussion, skills-based learning, and portfolio development.

​

Alongside this, the programme supports practitioners to build the professional documentation, reflective evidence, and practice awareness required for ongoing progression — including future applications under the SCoPEd framework.

​

Delivered through small, relational cohorts, the course offers structured learning, reflective discussion, skills development, and portfolio support for counsellors working with increasing complexity in private or agency settings.

​

This programme does not confer Column B recognition but provides the learning, reflection, and evidence-building framework required to continue progressing toward advanced professional status.
