Introduction to Counselling Skills
The Introduction to Counselling Skills is a three day online standalone course to introduce the basics of counselling skills.
- Does your work involve listening to people?
- Do you support people who are experiencing emotional, psychological or other difficulties?
- Do you find your communication skills are stretched to the limit at times when working with others?
- Would enhancing your interpersonal skills benefit you in your career or personal life?
Working in a small and friendly training group, led by an experienced teacher, you will improve your ability to listen and respond effectively, whether you intend to develop this further as a professional counsellor / psychotherapist or to use these new skills within your existing work.
