Foundation Course in Counselling

The pre-dominant process will be experiential, meaning it’s a non-lecture basis, more so, it is coming together and learning as a community. Every participants opinion is important, in other words a student centred approach, where the focus is on becoming autonomous, independent learners, within the group situation, and promoting the concepts of ownership of learning and reflection on awareness building.
The main areas covered, over the eight sessions are as follows; personal development, group therapy, group dynamic work, counselling skills, theory and practice, personal assignments, guest speakers, relevant counselling book reviews.
The core theoretical model of the training is the person-centred approach, developed by Carl Rodgers, it is important the practitioner has a coherent model underpinning his or her work. The course is suitable, primarily, for those interested in their own personal development
An informal interview will be held for each participant, where an opportunity to answer any questions ref the training process can be addressed.
The course is sufficient in itself for assisting participants to utilise their learning in varied settings, or it maybe a stepping stone onto further training in counselling.
Self assessment and self evaluation are key concepts of my training course, as is the integration of theory and practice of skills.
The course is suitable for those interested, primarily, in their own personal development and who may also be considering going on to Diploma level in Counselling/Psychotherapy.
