Your learning journey
Small enough to know your name
Founded in 2024 by Rachel Burns and Michael Harris, KCT was built on a simple belief: that excellent counselling education should be personal, human, and rooted in real practice.
​
Now expanding to a team of ten specialist tutors, we offer four CPCAB qualification levels in a genuinely supportive environment — where every student is seen as an individual.
I came to KCT unsure whether a career change was even possible. Eighteen months later I am a practising counsellor. The tutors never let me doubt myself.

Level 4 Diploma · 2025
The Level 2 was the perfect starting point... genuinely transformative. I felt supported every step of the way and I have enrolled on Level 3 this September.
James T.
Level 2 · Progressing to Level 3
As someone in their early twenties I was nervous I'd be the youngest in the room. Instead I found a community of people all working towards the same goal.
