Course programme
diversity and ethics within counselling skills
understanding the different approaches involved in counselling
the importance of self-development
You’ll learn to identify and practice a range of core counselling skills that can be used when participating in counselling interactions.
Having a positive regard for the person being counselled; respecting them, showing empathy and genuineness are core counselling skills. Listening carefully, controlling your body language, (watching theirs too) asking advanced open ended questions and summarising are also key skills.
Working towards self-awareness is part of the syllabus. Taking care of yourself is important. Having a better understanding of your self is essential to personal growth and can help you achieve results in life. Whilst we have a lot to give to others, the best place to start is with ourselves.
