Compass has a track record of success of providing high quality training and student development, here in Liverpool, Merseyside.

Our tutors are all highly qualified practicing BACP counsellors with a wealth of knowledge and experience.  This expertise gives students a unique insight into how the classroom learning transfers into real world scenarios.

Our courses are delivered face-to-face as we believe the practice, support and instant feedback you gain from both your tutors and your peers is invaluable in counselling training, our students feel the “human connection” of learning with others, something that is not available with online training.  As a Counselling charity we are a provider of counselling and psychotherapy as well as a training provider.

Why choose Compass for your Counselling training?

• Considerable amount of local knowledge which is filtered to students, enhancing their learning experience.
• Emphasis on working within an Ethical Framework
• We do not offer ‘fast track’ courses – belief held that counselling training is not suited to condensed learning and can potentially present risks to both client and counsellor.
• Recognition that personal development is key to producing ethical counsellors and class time is devoted to this
• Possible opportunity to complete placement hours and thereafter as a sessional counsellor for Compass.
• Tutor with 15 years’ counselling experience and 10 years’ tutoring experience.

• We don’t offer to turn you into a counsellor in 2 years!
