Counselling Training you can trust
The Counsellor's Path was built around a simple conviction: that the people who one day sit with another person's vulnerability deserve to be thoroughly prepared for that privilege - not just qualified, but grounded, self-aware, and ready.
That's what we're here to do.
We believe that becoming an effective counsellor requires more than passing a course. It requires self-awareness, humility, and a genuine understanding of the responsibility that comes with this work.
That conviction is at the heart of everything we do here - and it shapes how we teach, how we support our students, and the standards we hold ourselves to as a training centre.
We recognise that choosing to train as a counsellor is a significant step - and that the centre you choose matters more than most people realise when they are starting out.
Whether you are working toward professional registration or exploring counselling for personal development, you will find a safe, well-grounded, and genuinely supportive place to do that here.

Tutor, Centre Director & Founder
BACP-accredited Counsellor
“Having experienced counselling as a client, I came to understand both its profound potential and its inherent responsibility. Therapy can be deeply transformative when practised with humility and skill — and unintentionally harmful when good intentions are not grounded in self-awareness.
The Counsellor’s Path was created from this conviction - to train practitioners who recognise the privilege and responsibility of their role, and who practise with professionalism, care, self-understanding, and ethical integrity.”
“What sets Abi apart is how much she truly cares about the well-being and progress of each student on a personal level.
If you want someone who is deeply committed to sending you into your counselling career with real self-awareness, a secure knowledge base and strong ethics, and who takes genuine pride in your achievements - Abi is exactly the person you need."

“The training provided by Abi has deepened my self-awareness and encouraged ongoing self-development. It has supported me in being present and empathic with each client's vulnerability, attuning to their experiences in a calm, compassionate and reflective way.”

“Throughout the course, Abi has offered consistent support, helping me gain a strong understanding of TA and I am now confidently applying it in my client work. I am truly grateful to have studied with her and to have trained within the Transactional Analysis modality.”
