Core Counselling Academy - Training Centre

NEW REVIEW
The Level 4 Counselling Studies course has been absolutely life-changing. The tutors have been consistently engaged, passionate, and deeply committed to ensuring that we not only understand the material but also feel connected as a group, sharing the journey together. I’ve learned so much, both professionally and personally and feel more fulfilled than ever.

The course has been delivered with such care, insight, and authenticity that I often found myself in awe of the learning experience. I’ve met the most fantastic people and truly cherish the sense of community we built. Being recognised with the Outstanding Student Development Award was an incredible honour and shows how much the academy values each individual’s growth.

I can’t recommend this course highly enough, it’s been transformative in every sense.

Here iur Diploma students are learning and participating in a squiggle game exercise. - Developed by psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, the Squiggle Game is a therapeutic tool where a counsellor and student take turns turning random marks into drawings. This process builds rapport, reduces anxiety, and helps students express complex emotions through creative metaphor.

NEW REVIEW
My experience of the L4/L5 diploma in counselling at Core has been overwhelmingly positive. The main classroom tutor and professional development tutor, as well as occasional guest tutors, provided a depth of understanding of counselling skills that I personally have not experienced in my previous trainings. The collaborative nature of the classroom environment allowed for deeper discussion of important topics and I felt that Core genuinely was on my side as I walked this path. The coursework was challenging but accessible. I would recommend Core to others without hesitation (and have already done so!)

**NEW REVIEW ALERT 📣

I’ve completed L2 (online) and L3 (online) with Core Counselling Academy and I’ll be starting L4 in September.

My course tutor has been brilliant, very knowledgeable, passionate, encouraging and genuinely cares about her students development. The online classes were always engaging, interesting and fun.

I’ve learnt so much, not only from my tutor and the course content (both of which were excellent) but also from the process of sharing with my peers, who were a really great bunch of people.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of both courses, from learning about the different counselling theories and practical counselling skills, to the process of self-reflection and self-discovery.

I highly recommend Core Counselling Academy and I can’t wait to see what L4 has in store!

**NEW REVIEW ALERT 📣

Recently I finished the level 3 counselling course which I enjoyed so much. During the course I met a lovely bunch of people and as it was my first time using zoom like this, I was so relieved it went well. The course had a good mix of presentation and theory work, along with case and topical discussions. Practical work was enjoyable too for our practise counselling sessions. I had support from my tutor which has given me the confidence to continue my studies and look for relatable work as well. Can highly recommend studying here
