JHD offers a range of courses, including online courses and tutor led blended courses.

At this time we offer the Level 1 as an online course, study at your own pace course, and also an online tutor led course via Zoom. 

Our level 2 is also an online tutor led course via weekly zoom sessions. 

Our level 3 and 4 courses take on a blended approach. Sessions will be a mix of tutor led via zoom sessions and face to face sessions at our training centre in Cambridge. 

Cambridge is extremely accessible via car, train and bus. 

Our venue for the 2021/22 academic year is: Madingley Hall, Madingley, Cambridge, CB23 8AQ. Website: https://www.madingleyhall.co.uk/

Some of our courses require little or no experience. Details are contained within each course page

The amount of study time differs for each course. Please visit our course pages for more information. 

A requirement of the Level 4 course is to gain 100 supervised client hours whilst on placement. This is an important part of the training as you can experience what it is like to sit in the clients shoes, and also gain experience of working as a counsellor whilst still studying. You will not complete the Level 4 course until all 100 hours have been completed.

JHD offers all the courses needed to become a fully qualified counsellor.

We ask that all students start at the Level 1 course, and then progress onto the Level 2, Level 3 and then finally the level 4. We do offer fast track options for some of our courses. Theses courses cover the same content but are completed quicker by including either Saturdays or full day study, rather than evening study. 

JHD is more than happy to take students from other training centres as long as the previous place of study has provided adequate training. 

If you would like to ask any questions about the courses and progression routes please contact our training administrator, Sarah, on 078716 71428 or secretary@jhdcounselling.co.uk

JHD students are required to complete a minimum of 10 hours personal therapy. JHD does provide in-house therapy at a discount for JHD students as we understand training to become a counsellor can be expensive and we want to support you where possible.  

The costs vary for each course and CPD. Please view the course and CPD pages to find out more about the fees and payment options.

If you would like to discuss fee’s further please do not hesitate to get in touch with our training administrator, Sarah, on 078716 71428 or secretary@jhdcounselling.co.uk

The payments options differ for each course. 

The Level 1 course payment of £75-105 is required upfront before the course starts. 

For our Level 2, 3 and 4 options the course can either be paid for upfront or you can pay a deposit and then the remaining amount can be paid for by monthly instalments throughout your course. 

All courses can be paid for via the website using a debit or credit card 

Our tutors will be confirmed on the individual course pages. However, please visit the ABOUT US page to see all of our trainers. Our trainers are are experienced training practitioners and current practising counsellors so we can guarantee you will have the best learning experience possible.

You can currently choose to join a professional membership body as a student member whilst studying with JHD. 

A requirement of the profession is to have supervision each month for your client work. Unlike many other training centres, JHD is proud to provide Level 4 students with monthly supervision, which is included in the course costs. 

We really hope that you do not need to leave one of our courses and we would suggest firstly speaking with your tutor to see what support we can offer you. However, we completely understand that sometimes life does not go to plan and you may need to cancel.

If you are paying in instalments we just ask you pay up to the point of leaving, and the deposit you paid before starting the course is non-refundable.

If you paid up front for the course we can refund for the study that has not yet taken place but the deposit is non-refundable.
