Why Study Counselling Skills?

Counsellors dedicate their careers to helping the clients they work with make positive improvements in their lives.  For the counsellor, the challenge lies in providing clients from all backgrounds with the help and support they need to overcome issues in their lives.  Counselling takes a variety of forms, and no two days are ever the same.  Specialist fields within the counselling profession include addiction counselling, career counselling, behavioural counselling, grief counselling, relationship counselling and many more besides.  Some clients have clear and defined goals, while others are unable to pinpoint exactly what may be holding them back.  Careers in counselling are built on a robust foundation of patience, empathy, passion, intuition, tenacity and commitment.  If you have a genuine passion for people and get a real kick out of helping others, a career in counselling could be right up your street.
