Counselling is a person-centred process designed to help clients or patients who are distressed, anxious, depressed or otherwise unhappy with their lives, relationships, or some aspect of their performance. Students are taught evidence-based methods for building rapport with their clients and understanding the factors which cause those clients concern in their day-to-day lives. They are also taught a range of therapy strategies to guide future clients towards achieving their life goals and addressing the issues which cause them distress or unhappiness
