“….now I listen better…………..am more aware of my patient…………..beyond just their physical symptoms……………it doesn’t take any longer……………….now my patients leave smiling” - Quote: A medical professional recently taking the Certificate course.
CCS’s Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling Theory and Skills is a one-year, part time, course providing access to our Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, for those who have little or no prior counselling training. This course may also be taken as a stand-alone qualification for those in other professions wishing to improve their inter-personal and communication skills. Formal qualifications are not essential and there are no age limits. Selection is by interview soon after receipt your application and is concerned with qualities, rather than qualifications, of the applicant. In considering your suitability for the training, we pay particular attention to life experience and motivation. We are also interested in your willingness to participate fully in the training experiences and your commitment to personal development.

About Chichester Counselling Services.
Chichester Counselling Services is an independent charity founded in 1979 offering affordable counselling to adults in the local community. We are affiliated to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Our Diploma course has been accredited with the BACP since 1994, making it a nationally recognised qualification. We also offer a programme of short courses and workshops in counselling related issues. The training and most client work take place in our building in the heart of Chichester.
The certificate training.
For those students who wish to learn basic counselling theory and skills, perhaps to enhance your competence in your present employment, the first year of our BACP-accredited Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling course may be undertaken on its own to receive our Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling Skills & Theory.
This opportunity also offers you the ability to explore counselling, for those students who are unsure about actually practising therapy with clients, unsure about investing the time to complete a diploma or perhaps unsure about making a career change into counselling.
Successful completion of the year leads to the award of a Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling Skills & Theory. The certificate is not a British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy-accredited qualification, but it would be transferable for those wishing to complete our BACP-accredited diploma (an additional 2 years part-time) with us at a later date, or perhaps elsewhere.
Part-time training takes place each year beginning either in October (lasting for three terms) or January (lasting for two terms – with the same material as offered in the three-term training).
