If you are at a crossroads in life and would like a fresh challenge, a change of career, or just want to help others, becoming a Counsellor or Psychotherapist with Chrysalis, is the chance to do just that. Chrysalis has designed our part time courses to fit around your busy lives, so that everyone has the opportunity, regardless of circumstance, to enjoy the personal and professional benefits of studying Counselling. Working as a Counsellor is rewarding, challenging, inspiring and so vital in helping nurture mental health. Chrysalis will help you to help others.

Chrysalis is set up as a not-for-profit company to help enhance the life-skills of its students. As we have no shareholders, any surplus income we generate is re-invested straight back into the courses we provide.

We continually look to improve and expand our range of courses in order to offer more and more people, like you, the opportunity to enhance their potential.

At Chrysalis, we take the best elements of well-known counselling and psychotherapy models and put them together in our unique, tried and tested approach, called psychotherapeutic counselling. This allows you to help with a range of common human problems whilst developing your own self-knowledge and understanding.

On graduation from Chrysalis courses, you will be eligible to gain accredited membership with the relevant bodies.

You’ll be able to use your qualifications as building blocks, taking your RQF credits elsewhere or progressing to Higher Education and postgraduate studies.

You will be qualified to practise as a fully accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.

Jennifer Brignall

"As a former health professional, I was accepted, last year, to do a Degree in Counselling before realising the impact of the cost of the enormous Fees attached! This lead to my search for related course providers, hence Chrysalis, offering such value. Amazed & wishing I had been introduced to Hypnotherapy earlier as now it completely consumes me."
