Description
Gain practical skills in psychology, counselling, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to support others and deepen your understanding of mental health.
✅ Why This Course?
Mental health is one of the most urgent issues of our time, impacting individuals, families, and workplaces across the UK. But understanding mental health isn’t just about recognising disorders — it’s about knowing the psychology behind behaviour, learning how to listen and support, and using evidence-based approaches like DBT to make a real difference.
This comprehensive, CPD-accredited course combines psychology, counselling skills, and DBT strategies to give you both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical techniques. By the end, you’ll have the tools to:
Recognise common mental health challenges
Apply foundational counselling skills with confidence
Understand how psychology explains behaviour and emotion
Use DBT’s core skills (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness)
Provide safe, supportive responses — and know when to refer for professional help

Development Across the Lifespan → How mental health evolves from childhood through later life.
