Enfield Counselling Service (ECS) has been training counsellors

since 1978.

 

Our courses are accredited by the Westminster Pastoral

Foundation (WPF), a well known and reputable counselling and

psychotherapy training organisation.

 

Is Counsellor training for you?

 

One-day workshop, held several times a year

 

This one-day workshop provides a taster of the types of thinking and activity you might experience within a counselling course.

 

During the day you will be introduced to some of the basic listening and responding skills. You will also be encouraged to join in experiential exercises and group discussions about various aspects of the counselling process and techniques used in counselling skills courses.

 

You will not receive a specific recommendation to a particular training, but you will have an overview of the various schools of thought and practice in the counselling world.
