Knowing the wide variety of knowledge and experience among familyroomers I'm hoping that someone will be able to advise me on how to choose a good counselling course. I'm interested in an introductory course needing no knowledge or experience of counselling and looking at what's on offer in London there are loads with widely differing fees, different focuses and accreditation from different bodies. How do I pick a good one that will give me a really good overview of various approaches and stand me in good stead if I want to proceed with further training to become a counsellor? Thanks in advance.

When I did my Counselling course via Lewisham College, Morley College were also running a course.


If you do a basic Bereavement Counselling Course - this will give you experience and some inkling as whether you want to take a higher qualification. I had done counselling as part of my social work training, but did the bereavement course as I wanted more in depth understanding. I was also on placement in a counselling and social work agency - so I could back up the theory with the practical. Bromley Colleeg (if it still exsists, also did a counselling course. City Lit may offer some as well.

I think City Lit runs the the full range of courses, from intro to fully trained.

Bromley college also do courses but I'm not sure what range is available.

Another option are courses with the Tavistock, leading service in the Uk

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
