LEVEL 4
DIPLOMA IN THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING

More information on the journey you can take can be found here.

Undertaking a psychology degree and counselling training are two different things; While both cover similar aspects in relation to theory of personality, a psychology degree is a knowledge-based qualification which requires a high level of academic ability. This is compared to counselling training which is a relational activity which depends on personal qualities, self-awareness and soft skills such as the ability to build a trusting relationship, work with difference and diveristy and covey empathic understanding. These aspects of counselling training are not included or assessed in most psychology degree programmes and have to be learnt and developed in a very different learning context.

The normal letters for the Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (TC-L4) is “Dip.Couns”. Qualifications below level 4 would not normally be listed but there would be no objection to “Cert.Couns.Skills” (CSK-L2) or “Cert.Couns.Studies” (CST-L3)

If you already hold counselling skills and theory qualifications from a different awarding body, NCCS will assess your prior learning based on the number of guided learning hours (GLH) completed in a classroom setting and the course content, particularly in relation to theory and skills practice. Your previous course should closely align with the curriculum covered in the equivalent CPCAB course. To enter at Level 3, you must have completed a counselling skills course equivalent to at least 90 GLH. The course must have included live (synchronous) teaching, which may be online (not distance learning), as well as regular observed skills practice. To enter at Level 4, you should have completed equivalent counselling skills and theory courses with a minimum of 180 GLH. Like Level 3, these courses must include live teaching (either in person or online, but not distance learning) and consistent, observed skills practice sessions. If you’re uncertain whether your prior learning meets these requirements, please reach out to NCCS to schedule a consultation. Note: NCCS does not recognize online or distance learning courses that lack live, synchronous teaching or regularly observed, assessed practical skills sessions.

CCS is an award-winning training center offering expert-led, accredited counselling courses approved by the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). The CPCAB, the only specialist awarding body in Europe focused solely on counselling, is managed by experienced counsellors, trainers, and supervisors. As the UK's leading awarding body for counselling, CPCAB is dedicated to developing skilled, competent counsellors. Their unique structure—run by counsellors, for counsellors—ensures a focus on practical and relevant training. CPCAB courses provide a structured pathway, enabling students to progress from working in counselling agencies or private practice to supervisory roles. Additionally, CPCAB courses fulfill the guided learning hour requirements needed for future accreditation as a practicing counsellor.

In a world where counselling is an unregulated profession, there is a wide-range of training available and there is a place for distance learning or online courses, usually for Continuous Professional Development (CPD) once the formal counselling training has been completed or when combined with high-quality classroom based learning (e.g. The Open University/CPCAB Foundation Degree). Good quality counselling training has a solid relational foundation at its core and NCCS believe that in the first instance, this cannot be achieved via online or distance learning that doesn't involve live, synchronous teaching or regularly assessed skills practice sessions. NCCS offers CPCAB courses which all incorporate regular live teaching and assessed skills practice sessions (either in the classroom or online) and provide the benefits of an environment that consists of experiential learning building counselling competence as each level of training is undertaken. Professional membership bodies such as the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) or the National Counselling Society (NCS) require counsellors to register on an Approved Voluntary Register by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). To do this the membership bodies and PSA insist that a proportion of the would-be counsellor's training is provided by live teaching. BACP state: "We believe that practising counselling skills under supervision, and with feedback from staff and fellow students, is an important aspect of training. Online and distant learning courses can offer an introduction to the use of counselling skills and theory, but do not have this relationship with staff and other students". Any online or distance learning courses undertaken that are not synchronous and don't involve live teaching will also not count towards the training hours required for profession membership or accreditation should this be undertaken in the future once practicing.

As a private training centre, funding in the form of learning loans and remitted fees are not available. However, in order to help spread the cost an installment payment option is available once the deposit has been paid.

Our Level 4 course forms part of the Open University Foundation Degree progression route. The Foundation Degree is made up of the CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a mandatory Open University module (D240 Counselling: exploring fear and sadness) PLUS a choice of Open University modules and optional CPCAB level 5 practitioner qualifications. More information can be found by watching this video.

CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) is an awarding organisation for counselling courses. These are sometimes called awarding bodies or examination boards. This is compared to the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists) which is a professional membership body that student and 'qualified' counsellors can become a member of. The role of these professional bodies is to set standards, protect the public, hear and review complaints. They don't award counselling qualifications. They don't award counselling qualifications. There are also other awarding bodies such as the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), for which our Level 4 is accredited with. Other acronyms you may notice across the site are: GLH - Guided Learning Hours TQT - Total Qualification Time PSA - Professional Standards Authority

By the course's conclusion, our objectives are for you to: Develop into a proficient listener Gain a foundational understanding of counselling and its training Engage in experiential learning to enhance self-awareness Prepare for potential progression to the Level 3 counselling studies course

ligibility: Level 2 or Equivalent in English Language. If you don’t have this level of literacy this does not exclude you from the course, but your written English will be assessed as part of the application written exercise Good IT skills – ability to use Word, fill in proforma templates electronically, use an online classroom platform, and have a confidential space with good Wi-Fi and lighting A willingness to discuss personal thoughts and feelings with others as part of a group, 1-2-1 with other students and tutors and in writing A willingness to give feedback to and receive feedback from others in the group Be committed to exploring your own values, beliefs and attitudes and examining how you relate to other people Be committed to the learning process and completing the necessary work on time to fulfil the requirements of the course Anyone experiencing any current emotional/psychological problems will not be accepted onto the course Anyone experiencing any life experiences that may be detrimental when studying a counselling course may not be accepted onto the course

Course Content The course is structured many topics including: Becoming a skilled listener Working safely and ethically as a 'helper' using counselling skills Developing self-awareness Introduction to the Person-Centred Approach

Assessment involves compiling an internally assessed portfolio with methods including: Reflective journals Worksheets Assignments Group presentations Group discussions Tutor and peer feedback on skills 1-2-1 tutorials

This course does require work to be undertaken in your own time and so prospective students must consider this and the required time commitment outside of taught lessons – as this is a compressed version of the course (24 weeks instead of the usual 30 weeks), the weekly workload will be more - approximately 8-10 hours a week. This may vary for each individual student and may increase slightly when various assignment deadlines approach. It is therefore important that if you are considering applying for the course, that you think about where the course will fit into your day-to-day life, such as employment, family circumstances, health issues, etc. The full fee for the course is payable should you decide to withdraw once the course has begun.

While the Level 2 course stands alone as a valuable qualification, it also serves as a stepping stone to the Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies, also accredited by the NCCS.

Professional practice: professional boundaries and skills, working ethically and safely, understanding the law, working with suicide risk, organisational policies, and procedures, undertaking assessments and referrals, understanding ethical frameworks and application to practice by exploring ethical dilemmas, utilising supervision effectively, clinical wills and note-taking. Mental Health: exploration of the medical and non-medical models of common mental health issues, including medication and referrals to specialist services. Counselling Theory: A firm grounding in person-centred theory and its application to practice. Other theories will be touched upon as a starting point for further CPD after the diploma course. Working with Difference: Exploration of the implications of working with difference in counselling practice and ‘getting comfortable with being uncomfortable’. Self-Awareness: Opportunities to explore your early experiences and the impact of these on patterns of relating and/or behaviour. Sometimes this may involve creative activities. Group Process: At regular intervals, you will spend an hour in group process which will provide opportunity for exploring your inter-relational dynamics and your own process. Reflective Practice Groups: This is like group supervision and provides an opportunity to explore your development as a counsellor, linking theory to practice as well as discussions about what might come next after the diploma has ended. Additional Topics: Talking about sexual intimacy in the therapy room, attachment theory, time-limited counselling, and pre-trial therapy. Counselling Young People Module - Towards the end of Year 1 of the diploma course at NCCS, students will also complete a 10-week module related to working with children and young people. This course is mapped across to Stage 1 of the “BACP Counselling Children and Young People Training Curriculum”. This module will provide students with the basic skills and competencies to begin working with children and/or young people. This will also provide students with a starting point should they wish to continue working towards a qualification in counselling children and/or young people once they have completed the Level 4 diploma at NCCS.

This course requires a lot of additional study time between sessions. It is difficult to quantify this for Level 4 as this will vary from student to student and also will vary dependent upon other factors such as when an assignment is due to be submitted. It is important that the course is considered in relation to other areas of your life in order that you can give the course your time and commitment to give you the best opportunity to complete it. Please consider how it will fit into your current employment, family life, health issues etc.

While undertaking a Level 4 diploma course at NCCS, you will be eligible for student membership of NCPS or the BACP. Once you have completed your course and gained your diploma, this will enable you to apply for full individual membership of these organisations or others. If you join NCPS or BACP, this will also include being placed on the Professional Standards Authority Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. For the BACP, you will be required to sit a Certificate of Proficiency (a computer-based test) before being approved for the register. NCPS don’t require you to sit a test and will look at the counselling qualifications you have gained as proof of competency. NCCS is currently working towards gaining accreditation with NCS for its Level 4 diploma course. From here, if you wish, you can work towards accredited status with either the BACP or NCPS (or other membership bodies). To become accredited, you will need to: - Have been ‘qualified’ for three years (this includes your Level 4 counselling placement) Have gained 450 hours of practice (this can include your Level 4 counselling placement hours) Have undergone 450 hours of counselling training with a substantial amount of this at Diploma level e.g., Level 3 plus Level 4 is 510 hours Be a registered member of the organisation you are hoping to gain accreditation with Be in supervised practice The Level 4 diploma is a stand-alone course, but progression is available, should you choose to, on to the CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling or Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Skills and Theory or the Level 5 Diploma Working in Counselling Children and Young People.
