Counselling Jobs Overview
Counselling jobs are rewarding and meaningful positions for those who want to help others through a variety of issues. One in six adults in England alone have a common mental disorder such as depression or anxiety. Thankfully, with the reduction in stigma improving each year, the number of people attending treatment is rising. The focus on mental heath and wellbeing in our modern society means that becoming a counsellor is a valuable career choice for both you are your clients.
As a counsellor, you could support children, young people, or adults individually and in groups. You may also work in one or more different environments, including:
- your own private practice
- over the phone
- via online video tools
- in schools
- at hospital in- and out-patient facilities
- in workplaces
- at a range of support centres
Some professionals choose to specialise in particular conditions such as PTSD, substance abuse, or relationship issues, while others treat a broad range.
Counselling Education and Training
To work as a professional counsellor, you must be registered with the Professional Standards Authority, and you’ll need to pass enhanced background checks. Most, but not all, courses will lead to registration so be careful to do your research when looking for a training provider. The level of qualification you need depends on the particular job you have within counselling.
However, as a general guide, you can choose to study anything from a certificate or diploma to a degree or post-graduate award. Some people choose to pursue counselling as a long-term career, while others transition from related healthcare roles or even completely different industries later in life.
Counselling courses are usually available full- and part-time, and are offered by universities, colleges, and industry organisations. For university study, you’ll need at least two to three A levels, while courses at other institutions have varying entry requirements. Regardless, it can really help your job application if you can show that you have some relevant experience (professional or volunteer) and a personal interest in the field.
Counselling jobs are emotionally demanding so it’s important that you invest in the development of the following skills:
- patience
- empathy
- active listening
- sensitivity and respect for confidentiality
- excellent communication
- the ability to keep calm under pressure

Interviewing for Counselling Jobs
An interview for any job is a big deal.

It’s also a chance to practice what you preach by using some techniques to keep calm through the process. Get ready for your interview with our helpful tips, including how to prepare for a video interview.
How Much Do Counsellors Earn?
Your salary as a counsellor will vary depending on whether you work privately or with an organisation, as well as on your experience. It’s important to research what you’re likely to be paid so that you’re prepared for a job offer and any negotiations, and it can help you decide how much to charge if you are freelance.
The average salary for a counsellor in the UK is £29,120 per year. If you work for the NHS, your compensation will correspond to their pay rate scale.
