Counselling The unexpected challenges of the past year have led many people to seek help in navigating their way through life, benefiting from support and practical help to manage their personal wellbeing.

Online counselling alone saw a rise of 124 per cent during 2020. Many people have decided to pursue a career in counselling, driven by a desire to support others as they work through life’s demands, opportunities, and setbacks.

Counsellors and psychotherapists play a crucial role in improving the health and wellbeing of our society. They help people to talk about their feelings, think about their choices or their behaviour, and make positive changes in their lives.

Case Study Cael Dixon Works for: Cummins Ltd Studied: Level 1 MIG Welding

“Despite being slightly wary of returning to the classroom, I didn’t feel like a new boy at school because everyone was there to learn whether they were learning to weld for the first time or had signed up to get qualified. There was a strong camaraderie in the group, and we all helped each other with the support of our tutor.” nwslc.ac.uk 0330 058 3000 enquiries@nwslc.ac.uk
