York Learning has been delivering the CPCAB Counselling Training Courses since 2013 and in that time we have grown to become one of the biggest training centres for CPCAB in the whole of Yorkshire.
All members of the Counselling tutor team are fully qualified counsellors as well as experienced tutors with an extensive amount of knowledge and experience that they bring to the classroom. The counselling team are very passionate about providing the highest quality training from Level 2 to Level 4 and we put our learners at the centre of everything we do.
Here at York Learning we pride ourselves on being aware of and responsive to the specific needs of adult learners. We respect and appreciate that on most occasions our learners will be balancing their counselling training with other commitments and priorities such as work, family and child care; often our learners also travel from out of the local area to attend weekly sessions.
All courses are delivered through a blended learning model so that we can continue to offer our learners an inclusive and engaging learning environment. The courses will combine high quality, interactive online teaching (via Zoom) with more traditional face to face learning from our premises at The Centre @ Burnholme.
If you have any further questions or queries after exploring our website then email us at yorklearningcounselling@york.gov.uk and we will be delighted to support and guide you in your next steps.

This two-year part time professional qualification will provide you with the knowledge, skills and competencies to work as a therapeutic counsellor within an agency context initially, and the structure to progress to independent private practice with additional experience, support from a clinical supervisor and continuing professional development. The course is based on a relational philosophy of counselling, primarily using the Person Centred Approach. However, you will also study and practice other ‘self with other’ counselling theories that underpin and complement the Person Centred Approach, such as Attachment Theory and Transactional Analysis, to give you a robust foundation for your professional counselling practice and a framework to integrate other theories and modalities in the future if you wish to do so.
The course is BACP recognised which means that during your training you are eligible to apply for student membership to the BACP. On successful completion of the course you will gain approved qualified counsellor status and be eligible to become a full member of BACP and work towards accreditation if desired.
