Counsellor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years helping clients navigate change and move toward practical goals. In my current role I regularly use cognitive behavioural and interpersonal approaches to support individuals and small groups, and I’ve found that a steady intake of information and a calm, honest conversation makes a real difference. At [Company Name], I’d bring a practical focus and a track record of helping clients feel heard, with the kind of accurate needs assessment that supports effective rehabilitation planning. I’ve seen clients significantly improve their coping strategies within three to six months. I’m comfortable gathering information on abilities and needs, and I’m confident talking through options for job seeking and educational guidance. I work well with call centre environments and client-facing teams, and I can tailor counselling interviews for individuals, couples, and families. My approach is about concrete steps, clear resources, and building practical plans that people can follow. I value collaborative work with teachers, parents, and mentors to support student learning and behaviour in real settings. One memorable case involved a young adult facing substance use challenges alongside job seeking. Over three months we developed a small, achievable rehabilitation plan and a job readiness program that included interview practice and resume coaching. The client moved from avoiding appointments to attending consistently and reported feeling more in control. The team noted improved attendance and a more stable daily routine, with services coordinated across the rehabilitation and education teams. I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with the Counsellor role at [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat and can provide further examples of client-centred strategies and outcomes. Kind regards, [Your Name]
