Counseling

This course has been carefully designed to provide you with all the information required to help you become a professional counsellor. This course provides you with grounding in the theoretical aspects of counselling and it is important that you take the time to complete each of the self-assessment tasks provided at the end of each lecture as well as developing your practical skills. You can do this by taking all of the information provided and consider how you could use these skills in future counselling sessions and also, try some techniques out on friends and family to help make the skills a natural extension of yourself.
Although this course is designed to provide you with all the techniques required to help others, you will find that the information within will also help you to be comfortable with who you are, to identify your own strengths and limitations before you even start assisting clients. It is important to know as much about you as a person as possible, understanding your own experiences, beliefs and, limitations, identifying strategies, addressing any personal prejudice as well as progressing with your personal development.
