Don’t just take our word for how good the Level 2 course is… take it from one of our learners:

“I had a fantastic experience doing the Level 2 course, it is really eye opening, fascinating and you learn so much. Everyone was a pleasure to work with, both tutors and others on the course alike. Learning over Zoom made it possible to take part on the course and I can’t recommend them enough. I'm looking forward to starting Level 3!”

Feedback like this is exactly why we do what we do at Three Pillars Training - because we know that the skills we are teaching will go on to make a difference for so many people.

You don’t have to have any counselling skills. You don’t have to have any experience of being a coach or counsellor.

You only need a willingness to learn and enhance your skills.

Have you ever gone to a counsellor and realised that what you needed was a sounding board?

Probably not.

If you want a sounding board, you could get that from talking to ChatGPT (other AI models are available) if you wanted a robot’s response. But, you go to a counsellor for that human, personal touch.

Someone who will listen and understand you, not just to nod along and agree with you. Someone who will challenge you and work with you to improve your current situation.

AI can’t do that.

So why would we train people to become robot counsellors? Newsflash - we wouldn’t.

That’s why your life experiences matter when it comes to training counsellors. Each person who comes to Three Pillars Training understands that what they have to offer is good; with our training, they can become great.

Training to become a counsellor is not about having all the answers now; it’s about knowing you have experiences that can help others and building on them.

If you’re ready to start that next step in your career, visit our website and book your place on our September course today.

There are some questions people ask us all the time before they apply for Level 2.

And there are some they probably want to ask but feel a little embarrassed about.

So let's answer them.

"What if I've never studied before?"

"What if I'm nervous?"

"What if I don't know anything about counselling?"

"What if I'm not sure this is the right career for me?"

"What if I'm not good enough?"

Here's the thing.

You don't have to arrive knowing everything.

You don't have to arrive feeling confident.

And you certainly don't have to have your entire future mapped out.

You just need to be open to learning.

Our Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills is about developing the foundations.

Learning the skills.

Building confidence.

Understanding yourself.

And discovering whether counselling feels like the right path for you.

So if you've been hovering over that enquiry button...

Consider this your permission to ask the question.

There's no commitment in having a conversation.

And sometimes, one conversation is all it takes to realise that the thing you've been thinking about for months might actually be possible.

Our September course is now open.

So... what actually happens when you come to Three Pillars to study Level 2 Counselling Skills?

Well, yes, you'll learn.

There are theories to understand, skills to develop, things to read, and work to complete.

But there's so much more to it than that:
✔️ You'll have conversations.
✔️ You'll practise listening.
✔️ You'll reflect.
✔️ You'll probably discover things about yourself that you hadn't expected.
✔️ You'll meet people from completely different backgrounds and hear stories that challenge the way you think.

And you'll make mistakes.

That's okay.

Because learning to become a counsellor isn't about getting everything right straight away.

It's about having the space to try.

To reflect.

To ask questions.

To learn from each other.

And to grow in confidence.

And there will probably be quite a lot of tea and coffee involved too. ☕

That's what I love about training at Three Pillars Training.

It's not just a classroom. It's a community of people learning together.

If you've been thinking about joining us in September, we'd love to show you what it's really like.

Could you become a counsellor?

It's a question we hear a lot.

And usually, what sits behind it is another question:

"Am I good enough?"

If you've ever thought about counselling but talked yourself out of it because you don't feel confident enough, qualified enough or experienced enough, I'd like you to hear this:

You're not supposed to know everything before you start.

That's what training is for.

At Three Pillars, we don't expect our students to walk through the door as finished counsellors.

We help them develop.

We help them learn.

We help them reflect.

And, perhaps most importantly, we give them the space to discover what they're capable of.

You don't need to have all the answers.

You do need curiosity.

A willingness to listen.

An openness to learning.

And a genuine interest in people.

If you've been quietly wondering whether counselling could be for you, perhaps it's time to stop asking "Could I?"

And start asking: "What if I did?"

Our Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills starts in September.

If you'd like to know more, we'd love to hear from you.

Something I've been thinking about since we were nominated for a Local Business Award...

An award like this isn't really about us.

It's about the people who make Three Pillars Training what it is: our students.

The people who walk through the door feeling nervous about starting something new.

The people who wonder whether they're good enough.

The people who haven't studied for years and aren't sure they remember how to learn.

The people who are changing careers because they've realised they want their work to mean something more.

And then we get to watch them grow:
✔️ We see the confidence start to appear.
✔️ We see them find their voice.
✔️ We see them listen differently.
✔️ We see them begin to believe that perhaps they really can do this.

That's the bit that makes me proud.

So yes, we're incredibly grateful to be nominated.

But for me, the real achievement is the community behind that nomination.

Every student who has trusted us.

Every tutor who has shared their knowledge.

Every person who has encouraged someone else to take that first step.

That's what Three Pillars Training is about.

And if you'd like to support us with your vote, we'd be incredibly grateful.

But more than anything, thank you for being part of our journey. ❤️

Sometimes the hardest part of any new journey is taking the first step.

I've lost count of the number of conversations I've had with people who tell me they've been thinking about counselling for months...

Sometimes years.

They wonder if they're too old.

Whether they're capable.

Whether now is the right time.

Whether they're "the sort of person" who could become a counsellor.

The truth is, every counsellor started exactly where you are now.

With questions.

With uncertainty.

With a desire to make a difference.

Our Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills isn't about arriving with all the answers.

It's about giving yourself the opportunity to learn, grow and discover what's possible.

If you've been waiting for a sign to explore counselling, perhaps this is it.

Our September intake is now open, and we'd love to welcome you to the Three Pillars community.

If you'd like to find out more, send us a message. We'd love to have a chat.

When people imagine counselling, they often picture someone asking lots of questions.

Or offering advice.

Or having all the right answers.

But one of the most important skills we help our students develop is something much quieter than that.

Listening.

Not listening so we can respond.

Listening so we can understand.

Giving someone the time and space to tell their story without rushing in to solve it.

That isn't always easy.

We're naturally wired to want to help.

To reassure.

To fix.

But counselling teaches us that some of the most powerful moments happen when we simply stay present.

When someone feels truly listened to, they often begin to hear themselves differently too.

That's why listening sits at the very heart of everything we teach at Three Pillars.

Because before we can support someone's journey, we first need to understand where they are.

One of the biggest misconceptions about counselling training is that it's all about learning theories and techniques.

Of course, those things have their place.

But that's not where we begin.

At Three Pillars, Level 2 is about developing the foundations of good counselling.

Learning how to truly listen.

Becoming comfortable with silence.

Understanding the importance of empathy.

Being curious rather than making assumptions.

These are skills that stay with you long after the course has finished.

Whether you go on to become a counsellor, use them within your current role or simply carry them into everyday life, they have the power to change the way you connect with others.

Because every meaningful conversation starts with someone feeling heard.

Our September Level 2 course is the perfect starting point if you're considering a future in counselling.

Could this be the beginning of your journey?
