Certificate in Humanistic Counselling Skills

Counselling skills are regarded as advanced, interpersonal, communication and social tools that enable people to express, explore and come to terms with their thoughts and feelings. Showing that you can listen and understand a person, even if nothing can be changed about their situation is invaluable to them. Counselling skills are also used to guide people through decision processes, perhaps helping to see potential possibilities or areas for change.

Gestalt holds a central position in this course and as an evolving, exciting and universally applicable theory, supports the use of counselling skills. It is well respected and has influenced and enriched many other therapeutic, educational and managerial approaches to supporting people.
