The Connexions Training ‘Diploma in Integrative Counselling with a Christian Perspective’ has been an established programme for the last 25 years. This course has enabled hundreds of students to train and graduate in counselling, many of whom have significantly contributed to the field of counselling in the UK and Ireland. One of the unique features of this course is the inclusion of a Christian Perspective, which enables learners to view the core theoretical models of counselling through the lens of the Christian worldview.  

Connexions Training in Ireland partners with Vital Pathways Training in Scotland, sharing lectures and online learning opportunities, and gathering at Summer School, a facilitated residential at the end of year 1. This network of learners is a vital source of connection, impacting the field of counselling in Ireland, Scotland, and beyond.

Our vision is to ‘make connections for life’, strengthening

communities through equipping and mobilising the

church body to be ‘healthy helpers’ in their pursuit to

share the love of God through acts of compassion

and care.

Our courses are designed to enhance knowledge and develop vital skills that are necessary in the counselling role, however a fundamental part of our courses is to provide opportunities for students to grow in their interpersonal skills, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness. As such, students are encouraged to be open to self-exploration and development.
