We Understand Your Journey

Becoming a qualified counsellor is not an easy journey. You dream of helping others, but to get there you have a lot to learn and it can be an overwhelming process.

Fitting your studies around your life, and even your current job can be a juggling act. There's a huge amount of information to consume and it takes time.

We know you'll be feeling the pressure of having made the financial commitment to your course, and the academic learning involved in counselling won't come easy to everyone. It can leave you with a fear of falling behind, and even failure.

If you can relate to this then you are not alone and that's why we've designed the Counselling Study Resource to help you succeed.

Absolutely! The CSR is designed to help guide you through every step of your study journey. You'll find knowledge and advice to set you up for success from the very beginning of counselling concepts right through to degree level.

We have many who joined us in their first year of study and who have now qualified but choose to remain CSR members as they use the resources for their continuing professional development.

Yes! No matter where you are at with your studies, CSR is going to help you get unstuck and help you move forward. You'll be able to navigate the resources to find the right support for your stage in your journey.

Do I have to sign up at the beginning of the academic year?

No. You can sign up at any time throughout the year and will have access to all past lectures in the lecture library and all resources in the CSR.
