Hey Chris, what about the NCFE CACHE level 2 counselling courses that are offered as online. Do you recommend those for someone with no counselling qualifications?
@ChrisTheCounsellor 2 күн бұрын
Unfortunately, I am not as familiar with the NCFE Qualifications, but they are generally recognised. As with any qualification, the main thing will be about the provider and how they deliver the training. Online is possible, but I think in person training will be required at some stage and does help get experience of many other important aspects of learning and Counselling, so I would recommend in person, primarily. I hope that helps, but any other questions, just let me know :)

I am looking to change my career as I will soon be made redundant. I have always liked the thought of counseling however the thought of spending years to complete everything is years of my life I don’t have much left of! I am 58 years old and plenty of experience of life. However I feel this amount of time to study is going to set me back? Is this the only way or are there other avenues I can take?
@ChrisTheCounsellor 9 күн бұрын
Unfortunately, the training is nearly always this length and especially to be recognised by professional bodies, you will need to complete a training route similar to the one outlined on here and have a minimum of the Level 4 Diploma. In regards to age and stage of life, most people train in Counselling as a second career or later in life and as a guess, I would say that average student age is 40-50+. Hope that helps :)

Hi. Thank you for this video. I am still quite confused because there seem to be so many awarding bodies: CPCAB, CACHE, NCFE, NCPS. Can one do a L2 course awarded by one body and then move on to an L3 by another body? There also seems to be so much confusion regarding fees. Some courses seem to be available free and others are priced anywhere between £300 to £1000. How can one determine what’s legit and what’s not? I’d really appreciate if you’d respond to me.
@ChrisTheCounsellor Ай бұрын
Hi and thank you for your comment. CPCAB is probably the most recognised and available course and would probably make progression through the different levels a lot easier. But if you did want to study one awarding body and then move to another, you would need to check with the training institution that you hope to continue to and they will be able to tell you their entry requirements. And in terms of cost, it can vary, but for the same awarding body and level, they do tend to be the same price. Whilst they are many legitimate courses and a variety of them, maybe sticking to NCFE or CPCAB may be your safest bet, but always try and talk to the provider to get a sense of what they are offering and their legitimacy. I hope that helps - Chris

Im doing a level two and have a couple of months left on this course, and boy has my anxiety kicked in! I don't need to worry about silence in skills practices, as i keep getting people who talk and talk and talk. i cant get a word in sideways! If/ when i do its towards the end and its super rushed. (I couldn't even get a praphrase in till the end !) Ive tried bringing this up with my tutor, but all she says is tell them in feedback! Well, thats great and all but thats no use to me when im loosing criteria at the time! Is there a way to interrrupt the helpee during the practice so you can talk? 'Cause its been implied you dont. Also does anyone know how you're supposed to demonstrate working in an ethical framework 1.1? my tutor won't give specfic examples. Thanks guys
@ChrisTheCounsellor Ай бұрын
Hi and thanks for the comment. This can be a tricky area, because a lot of the time, courses and skills practice may focus on demonstrating skills in every session and almost needing to force them in to do that sometimes. At our centre, we focus on what is most appropriate for the session - so if a client talks for the whole time and uses the entirety of the space, then we respect that need and may accept that there is not room for us to come in, this time. But I understand, it can be a tricky balance to strike and sometimes we may need to speak to check our understanding. And in terms of demonstrating working in an Ethical Framework 1:1, looking at the principles of values in the Ethical Framework may give you good pointers for things that you could see in yourself and your skills practice. Hope that helps and thanks for stopping by - Chris

Hi Jen. I think in most cases, you would likely need to do the training in the country that you were hoping to practice in, and as you get to the later stages, certainly better in person too. If you need further support on what would be accepted in the UK, you could get in touch with the BACP, or if for another country, whoever the main professional body is for counselling there. I hope that helps and thanks for the comment.

Hi - online training in a different country can be difficult in terms of qualifications and ultimately qualifying as a counsellor, but there will certainly be lots of listening courses and counselling courses that you could do online to help your learning and development (but may not necessarily lead to being a qualified counsellor as this can depend on the countries professional bodies, as well educational requirements across countries.)

I noticed when I made my list of aspects of myself that I felt one or two were both true to me and likely conditions of worth. I found it really hard to separate, can they be both? Or does the fact that they were formed originally as conditions of worth (being fun in company) preclude them being a real part of my organismic self?
@ChrisTheCounsellor 3 ай бұрын
Hi Trisha. Yes, absolutely, there can be crossover. In the video, when there is overlap in the circle, this would represent parts of us that are both our OVP (true to me, as you describe it) and self-concept (which is made up of conditions of worth). So yes, there can certainly be conditions of worth, that are also in line with congruence in us, but it also can be very nuanced and even more layers to these behaviours which might make some aspects of, for example, being fun in company, congruent, and some aspects, incongruent conditions of worth. As I write this, I think of something like how we feel about ourselves if we are congruently not fun in company and what this might tell us about the OVP/Congruent aspects of it. I hope that helps and is clear, but if you need any further explanation or clarification, please feel free to ask
@Pattylove826 4 ай бұрын
I have a question. When using this approach how would i write the intervention used and client's reponse. Guess i am asking would empathy, unconditional positve regard, and congruence be listed as intervention? And the response would be whether the client was open to the technique? Also can i use confrontation in this approach?
@ChrisTheCounsellor 3 ай бұрын
Hi Patrice - thanks for the comment and question. In terms of the approach, I presume you are talking about the Person-centred approach and I am not sure that the conditions would be described as interventions as such, but more conditions that are offered to facilitate client exploration. Confrontation is also an interesting one, because whilst it isn't really part of the classic Rogerian theory, there were some writings around Relational Depth and 'Being with, being counter' that touch on this word and its meaning, which may be of interest or touch on your wonderings. I hope that helps, but any further questions or clarifications, please feel free to ask.

Peace 🙏🕊️ I personally feeling strong when Chris mentioned about it is individual, like considering the multiculturalism of each clients. Like for Asian who culturally collectivism, maybe at some extreme end of embracing hierarchical aspect in relationships, might be very frustrating when counselor let them lead the whole way. Maybe that time, still client-centered, guide from one step behind would be more effective for the client? But then it would not be the classical Rogerian non-directivity way, perhaps a bit more towards motivational interviewing?
@ChrisTheCounsellor 3 ай бұрын
It's an interesting question and consideration. There may be something of a mixed approach from the counsellor, both in being attentive to the client and their approach / individual needs and maybe also the importance of cultural/contextual awareness of the clients that see us too. However, I am not sure that motivational interviewing would really come into a person-centred framework, but I do agree that culture and environment are really important considerations in understanding our clients, their process and needs. Hope that helps, but if that misses anything, or anything further needs explaining or exploring, feel free to let me know

Is it possible to go straight to studying the Diploma without the previous level certificates? I have a BSc degree in psychology and have done a pregnancy crisis counselling course but that is all. I also received training from volunteering for the Samaritans. I am also wondering whether these qualifications are recognized internationally, as I do not plan to live and work in the UK. It seems each country has a different route/ qualification requirements to becoming a counsellor and it's a little confusing.

Thanks for the question. This would depend on each training centre, as there is an option to use RPL (Recognised Prior Learning).

Hello Chris I've enjoyed watching your video. How does self concept work in CBT?
@ChrisTheCounsellor 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment and question. Self-concept is not a concept as such in CBT, as it is mainly a person-centred term. But I suppose in CBT there is an equivalent of our own image (thoughts, feeling and behaviours) or schemas that may be part of making up an equivalent of a self-concept, but ultimately, it would just be how we see ourselves, which can be applied to any therapy in some way. Hope that helps.
@user-mi5op4si9b 4 ай бұрын
Person centered approach is very good as long as its done right. The problem with this model is the overuse of para phrasing. My advice to anyone who is undergoing this type of therapy is that if you come across a therapist who simply sits there and repeats back to you what you have just said, run a million miles (usually these type of idiots are found in the voluntary sector,where unless they are a student why are they there,as a do-gooder). You will only get what you pay for and like in any profession common sense cannot be learned and in the educational system there is no medium for measuring common sense so basically as with any profession as long as someone meets the criteria a half-wit could end up as your therapist. To people out there who do know about this therapy dosent paraphrasing conflict with the core condition congruence because you are misleading the client into believing you either haven't heard them or you have misunderstood them (coming the raw prawn).Why is it that medical science has moved on so much in the space of time since rogers was around yet these approaches have not progressed,is it hero worshiping of Saint Rogers because it comes across that way. If you find a therapist who constantly paraphraises it's usually because they are either slow and need thinking time or that they are just going through the motions. Don't get me wrong there some good therapists out there but there are lots of fabricated bad ones unfortunately. The main requisite to any type of therapy in this field is common sense and not everyone has it even if they have accademia coming out of their earholes,my advice on choosing a therapist would be to go with your gut feeling. Not just on their qualifications or whether or not they PAY to be the member of a governing body.

Fabulous description of PCC. Believing/thinking its therapy lead for me is missing the point of its essence. Its a way of 'being" rather than a way of 'doing' it cannot be faked, and that's what I love about it. Just because some clients feel uncomfortable with the silence doesn't make it the 'wrong' therapy for them. I've never got the point of too much analysing and evaluation, things are as they are and that's okay. Acceptance is the golden key.

Thanks for the comment and glad to read it was helpful. In a sense, we all don't trust parts of our OVP in varying degrees. In some way, whenever someone is being incongruent, for example following should, oughts, conditions or worth or introjections, these would all be examples of people not trusting their OVP. It could also be linked to Locus of Evaluation/Control - you could say the more internal this is, the more trusting we may be of our OVP and vice-versa. Hope that helps, but anything else that needs clearing up, just give me a shout.
