Diploma in Counselling and Spiritual Care

It includes the a Christian World View along with other more generic World Views.

The Diploma is awarded by the Institute to recognise the work completed across the two contributing certificates. The Institute Diplomas are made up of a combination of two or more of our certificate courses with certificates being issued on completion of each part. This we feel recognises that although part of a larger course each certificate stands alone and may be taken in isolation if desired.

I am unable to comment on the course you are currently taking as it does not appear to be one of our courses. I have however copied some information from our FAQ section on our website which may be of help.

Will I be able to practice as a counsellor after taking a course with you?
Although there are no State regulations governing the title ‘Counsellor’, we would not suggest that you would be able to claim to be a competent practitioner by only doing ours or anyone else’s  courses. It takes more than studying a course to become an accredited counsellor.  However, our courses an excellent first step in the process. Around 90% of our students are already in the helping professions and use our courses to add value to their current helping role. If you are not in this position, then we would advise you to volunteer with a counselling organisation to gain the necessary supervised practice hours you would require to enter this sector. The NHS Careers web-site will give a flavour of what might be needed to enter the public side of counselling.  (See their link for Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner). Our student advisors can give advice on suitable courses.

Hi
I would need to know a little more about your uise of the term 'psychic' - this course investigates the definition of the term 'spirituality' and uses the work of Frankl and Maslow (among many others) to illuminate the discussson. This course would extend your spiritual counselling skills and align them to the 'holistic' therapeutic movement that is so prevalent in today's mental health treatments.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for the email.

Anyone can do online Diploma in Counselling and Spiritual Care because it is a  counselling skills course and not a full counselling pracitce course.

I can send you a prospectus if you could provide me with a postal address.

Very Kind Regards
