The Institute of Counselling was founded in 1985 as a Christian based, not for profit independent educational charity. It is committed to promoting pastoral care throughout the services it provides.
The Aims of the Institute of Counselling are:
- to promote the training and development of counselling skills,
- to provide opportunities for continuing professional development,
- to produce and distribute counselling skills training resources and
- to provide a counselling service for individuals needing counselling.
The Institute provides a wide range of counselling and related courses. Students enrol with assurance and confidence on our quality courses, which are fully backed by the experience and resources of the Institute of Counselling.
In its early years the Institute offered only courses in Clinical and Pastoral Counselling, within a pastoral context. Since 1985, over 35,000 students from the UK and overseas have enrolled on these courses.
In recent years the Institute has also produced a selection of further courses which follow the clinical person-centred approach developed by Carl Rogers and others.
The Institute is committed to providing counselling skills training to all who will benefit from the courses. On this basis a non-discriminatory policy is operated with regard to students' background, culture, ethnic origin, gender, age or creed.

Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
Marie was very helpful and advice offered readily via email or zoom. I would have preferred more interactive online work but other than that the course work easy to follow.

Certificate in Grief and Bereavement
Having returned to learning I found that learning on-line was initially quite difficult. Personally in the early stages when it took me some time to get into my stride a telephone call from the institute to inquire how things were going would have been supportive. My tutor was very supportive and encouraging.

The course really helped me get myself together. I registered for a course soon after losing my brother and I was going through a hard time.
The tutor was really helpful in guiding and giving me some direction throughout the course
