TEACHING AND WORKSHOPS


I used to run a five-day intensive course in Counselling Skills on a free-lance basis to various individuals and organizations interested in counselling skills. Below is a summary of the course content.
    COUNSELLING SKILLS COURSE

    Objectives

    To teach the basics of counselling, including: empathic listening, ethics and confidentiality issues, assessments, making contracts, working with different problems, note-taking, etc.

    I also provided theoretical overviews as well as skills practice in four different approaches or “models” of Counselling, namely:
    • Person Centred Therapy
    • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
    • Psychodynamics
    • Cognitive Analytic Therapy – an Integrative Approach
    Who was interested in these workshops?

    Either people with:
    • little knowledge of counselling and who were undecided about which approach to pursue, or 
    • people who wanted to pursue further training but were required to complete a certain number of training hours before being accepted on their course, or
    • people who worked in organizations that required training in counselling or benefitted from basic counselling skills in their work.
