Course programme

The primary goals for participants are that they will: Acquire a comprehensive knowledge of a range of theoretical approaches Be able to practise a range of counselling skills. The qualification is intended to contribute to career development in participants' own fields and/or as a part of their own personal development and as a progressive route to the Higher Diploma in Counselling Practice. Counselling Theory Theory will be an ongoing element of the course. Candidates will be introduced to and explore in some depth three of the main core theories, which underpin counselling practice: Humanistic Psychodynamic Cognitive behavioural Counselling Skills Through peer group work, role play, triads and Gilmore groups participants can expect to learn a range of practical counselling skills applicable to helping situations and the therapeutic alliance. Personal Development You will work to develop self-awareness and further your learning about yourself through experiential exercises, weekly entries in a Personal Learning Journal and self-exploration in skills work, exercises and group time. You will be encouraged to use theory to think about your personal experience and, through personal development, participants will begin to explore their own spiritual and moral values and how these impact upon their use of counselling skills. Counselling is emotionally and psychologically demanding and participants are advised to develop ways of attending to their own emotional needs outside the course and to consider having some personal counselling of their own should the need arise.
