Considering counselling training? Join us for our Open Days for each of our training courses. These sessions give you the opportunity to learn more about the training, ask questions, and get a sense of how the course works in practice.
Our Open Days take place in February and March 2026, with sessions offered online or in person, depending on the course. Each Open Day has a scheduled date and time, and we aim to be as welcoming and accessible as possible. If you’re interested but unable to attend a listed session, please contact us. We’re happy to explore alternative times where possible.
Open Days offer a valuable opportunity to hear more about our training and the learning experience. You’ll also have the chance to meet current and former students, as well as members of our staff, tutors and supervisors, who will be available to answer questions and share their experiences.
