Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Do I need a degree to start this training?

You do not need any past degrees or mental health experience to join. In fact, we start with simple, everyday examples to build your confidence fast.

2. Can I use these counselling skills to help a family member?

Yes, the course gives you excellent tools for supporting loved ones safely. Mind you, it also teaches you healthy boundaries so you do not burn out.

3. Will this course allow me to open my own private UK practice?

This training gives you an excellent foundational base and a CPD certificate. After that, you will need advanced clinical hours for full private practice registration.

4. How do I handle a chat if a client starts crying?

We teach you the precise words to use when people get highly emotional. As a result, you will feel calm instead of awkward during heavy moments.

5. What is the difference between sadness and clinical depression?

Sadness passes after a few days or weeks when life circumstances change. On the other hand, depression lingers deeply and impacts daily tasks like sleeping.

6. How does CBT help someone with a low mood?

CBT helps people identify negative thinking traps in their normal routine. Then, it replaces those heavy thoughts with small, manageable actions every day.
