Before you make a commitment to a more intensive course, come and explore key areas: counselling skills, the core conditions, theory and personal discovery.
‘Listening to clients is one of the most vital aspects of therapy … hearing the words is not enough – empathic listening involves listening to the feeling and emotions behind the words, and everything that comes with them.’ (Knox and Cooper, 2015: 42)
Over the four weeks you will be able to journey through some of the basic skills needed for students wishing to progress to the Level 2 Certificate or Level 3 Diploma in Counselling Skills. We will consider where the theoretical concepts originated, the practice and use of the core conditions and counselling skills and self-development that runs through all counselling skills and counselling training.
