At Renew Counselling and Training, we understand that choosing the right training is a deeply personal decision. You might already be working with young people in some capacity and wanting to expand your expertise, or perhaps you’re at the beginning of your journey, drawn to working with younger clients because you feel their voices deserve to be understood and respected. Whatever your background, our Diploma HE in Counselling (Child and Young Person) Person Centred is designed to meet you where you are and help you grow.
