This two-year part-time qualification gives learners the knowledge, skills and competencies to work as a therapeutic counsellor in an agency context in both health care and non-medical settings. 

Successful completion of this course means you will be able to provide a therapeutic counselling service- initially within the context of an agency’s service framework but later (with experience and support from the supervisor, or by completing PC-L5 or its equivalent) may progress to  independent practice. 

Our students engage in practical exercises and role play, developing self-awareness and empathy, learning to read body language, understanding ethics and boundaries, working without prejudice or stereotypes, giving and receiving feedback and taking part in group work and discussions.

Those interested in the Level 4 Diploma come from all walks of life and the varied classes offer a rich tapestry for learning. 

Our learners leave as qualified counsellors with the ethical awareness, depth of knowledge, and skills required to be excellent practitioners. We are    privileged to be a part of their counselling journey and proud of their professional and personal achievements through being a part of BGTC.
