Counsellors support people through personal or emotional difficulties by helping them explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and make positive changes in their lives. The role often involves working one-to-one with clients, though some counsellors also work with couples, families, or groups. Sessions are usually confidential and can cover a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, stress, relationship problems, or bereavement. Counsellors may work in settings like schools, universities, the NHS, charities, or private practice. To become a counsellor in the UK, most people complete a recognised counselling qualification and gain supervised experience before practising independently. This career requires strong listening skills, empathy, and a non-judgemental attitude.
