Thinking about becoming a counsellor – but not sure where to start? 🔍

You’re definitely not the only one.

When you first look into counselling training, suddenly there are Certificates, Diplomas, different levels, supervision… and a whole lot of terminology to get your head around.
It can feel a little overwhelming.

But people come to counselling training for so many different reasons. Maybe you’ve always wanted to help people, you’re considering a career change, or something in your own life has made you curious about understanding yourself – and others – more deeply.

Whatever has brought you here, you don’t need to understand the whole pathway before taking your first step.

If you’re new to it, a Certificate in Counselling can be a great place to begin – helping you explore counselling, develop your skills and discover whether this path feels right for you.

🌿 Our next Certificate in Counselling starts on 9 September, and there are still places available.

Not sure if it’s right for you? Let’s talk.
I love these conversations. No pressure, no sales pitch – just a chance to ask your questions and get clearer about your next step.

And here they are, the graduating class of 2026 - watch out for them - they are going to forge new paths

12/07/2026

Being a teacher of therapists is both an amazing and humbling experience AND a huge responsibility; something all the teaching team here at Training By Liberty are really aware of and it fuels them to be better - more congruent, more genuine, more human every year.

From our excited and enthusiastic Introduction course who lap up all this new understanding of what listening really is with gusto; striving to understand all this new knowledge and make sense of it - to our graduating Diploma class who are about to step out on their own - this approach works and is the thing the learners constantly tell us they appreciate the most.

Here at Training By Liberty we welcome brave humans and nurture them to become themselves - so they too can model that humanness for their clients.

Everyone knows our students are incredible, courageous and wonderful humans, just ask anyone who has met them, worked with them or been supported by them - and this years graduating class is once again, just incredible

Once again, to quote the bard - “parting is such sweet sorrow”

And when I think it’s too hard, when I worry we don’t do enough, I shall hold on to the words our graduating diploma group left us with

Thank you for choosing Training By Liberty - it has been a privilege.

Our exceedingly popular Introduction to Transactional Analysis short course is now being offered online.

Starting Monday 2nd November 10am on Google Meets for 7 weeks.

Over those session this course will introduce you to key TA concepts and help you explore how early experiences shape patterns of relating.

TA resonates deeply with counsellors and is often described as “the piece that was missing” in understanding self and others; the language seems to make sense of what they have experienced in life and in the counselling room which just unlocks a whole new way of being in the therapeutic space

Whether you're new to TA or looking to revisit the fundamentals, this course offers insight and tools that can transform both personal awareness and therapeutic practice.

Only 12 spaces - so don't delay

Over six immersive sessions, discover the power of Transactional Analysis (TA); a practical, engaging framework for understanding human behaviour, communication, and relationships.

I have found myself getting more and more infuriated lately by companies selling unwitting people their short, online courses to become a Counsellor in just 6 weeks. It gets my goat so much I wrote a blog about it and you can check it out here.

I particuarly struggle with 2 things, that people are being sold something that is not fit for purpose and that people don't really understand the cost of becoming a counsellor is not just financial, but it is vital to being the safest person you can be with those vulnerable clients.

Hope the read provokes a conversation Catherine Murray Liberty Talking Therapy

Most people who sign up for these courses aren’t careless or lazy – they’re exactly the kind of people we need in this profession. They care deeply, they want to help, and they’re trying to find a way to make that happen around the rest of their lives. When you’re juggling work, family, an...
