What you could study next

This Diploma is a foundation. To practise as a counsellor, you'll need further training. A Level 4 or Level 5 Diploma in Counselling (such as those offered by BACP-accredited providers) is the typical next step. From there, you can work toward professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Some learners also progress into psychology, social work, or mental health support roles through related degree programmes.
