Meet Phil Snelson, a teacher seeking a career change on our Level 4 Therapeutic Counselling course

Upon deciding to change his career, Phil explored various options but Warrington & Vale Royal College stood out due to the flexibility and accommodating schedule offered, which suited Phil’s family and work commitments. Phil first started studying on a level 2 and then level 3 course part-time around his teaching role, before taking the leap and fully committing to the level 4 qualification.

Phil began his journey into a counselling career with the vision of private practice, but will seek agency-based work in the first instance to gain more experience working alongside seasoned professionals. He’d also like to remain in education, perhaps teaching the counselling profession himself one day.

He says: “The tutors have all been brilliant. Everyone I’ve met just seems to be in it for the right reasons; they want to help people and they’re so supportive of the classes age differences, learning differences and experiential differences.”
