Introduction to Counselling Skills

This is a short introductory course to basic counselling skils. It forms the first five weeks on the foundation course. Many students take this course as a 'taster' before deciding whether to commit to the full foundation course which is a year part time. We offer an evening and a daytime course. The course is 3.5 hours long and will introduce you to some basic counselling concepts. Skils such as active listening, reflecting back and summarising. Much of the course is based on the book by Gail Evans in the Dummes series - Counselling for Dummies. Gail Evans is based at the Academy.
