At present the Centre has 60 counsellors, at various stages of their training. There is a minimum training standard. All counsellors must have at least one year’s training (in theory and practice) and be engaged in further training. However, many counsellors have completed their training and are working towards accreditation, or have established themselves as counsellors and wish to contribute their skills towards an organisation, which they feel is of benefit to the community. The counsellors come from various training orientations, most commonly humanistic, Psychodynamic, psychoanalytic or cognitive behavioral.
