Counselling Skills

Learn the skills of counselling and put them into practise during everyday life.

It is very difficult to work effectively if one's mind is clouded with personal problems. Worry and lack of concentration results in low productivity and under achievements. Recognising stress and early counselling is far more cost effective and efficient than disciplining staff.

Counselling is about removing barriers and looking backwards to the negative aspects of one's personality. If a person has the tendency to get angry, for example, we would look at the underlying reasons for being angry rather than teaching anger management.

Counselling may be concerned with addressing and resolving specific problems, making decisions, coping with crisis, working through feelings or inner conflict or improving relationships with others. The counsellor's role is to facilitate that persons work in ways that respect their values, personal resources and capacity for self-determination.

This counselling course is not designed to turn out full-time qualified counsellors, but will enable delegates to learn the skills of counselling and put them into practise during their everyday life.

Ideally, this course will follow on from the course on stress.

“It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.”Oscar Wilde
