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

    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
