Many thanks for this video, I’ve just completed a level 3 counselling studies course. I’m hoping you can tell me is it okay to use terms and concepts like phenomenology, configurations and intersections within the external examination.
Hello, you can use any term you like as long as it is relevant to the question you have been asked. Tip: be careful to use concepts belonging to the counselling approach you mentioned or that your college has stipulated, for example if your approach is person centred you would not mention concepts from other approaches. I would say keep it simple.
Help! I’m currently on week 6 of my level 3. I’m quite academic so not finding work difficult but as I’ve had a lot of personal trauma in my life I basically feel like I want to quit… I didn’t think I’d feel like this but am struggling with the social and emotional side . I had trauma therapy years back so am quite self aware but feel like I’m just shutting down to the course.
I have done 3 level 2 courses in other areas ive found them good but they are basic. As they takes 3, 4 months i was wondering whether to go straight to councelling level 3 or whether to start at 2. Does 3 cover alot of 2 anyway?
Hello Emma, I would suggest that you start from the beginning, it’s unlikely that a college would accept you on level 3 especially if you do not have a counselling background. Doing a counselling course should not be rushed as self development and awareness is a process. If you started at level 3 then you would not have the foundation, knowledge and counselling skills that your peers would have. On level 2 you will learn the basics which will support you in progressing to level 3.
Thankyou, I'm currently on level 2. I found this very informative
Thankyou - I found is very helpful

The person on the left is very eager to talk but has obviously not learned how to listen. They overtook the interview.
