CPD Counselling Skills Certificate (February Start)

The course develops four essential themes – skills, theory, self-awareness and ethics.

The aims of the four module programme are to enable students to:

- Identify the skills leading to the successful promotion of the helping relationship via self-awareness, exploration and constructive action

- Understand the fundamentals of the counselling relationship and process, together with the composite stages of growth and development

- Recognise and monitor the issues and boundaries relevant to the counselling process

- Work to a professional code of ethics

This course is open to all – experience in the field of health and social care or a field involving close personal contact with members of the public is recommended; however, applicants will be selected on their emotional readiness to undertake such a programme.
