‘One of the factors that make Counselling special is the quality of helper listening, which is developed as a result of training. This listening involves attending to what the client means to say, as well as what [they] are saying.’ (Hough, 2014: 14) If you are interested in learning to listen and find people fascinating, this could be the course for you.

Overview

The Counselling Skills Diploma is the gateway to Counselling Training. During the course we will look at how listening is the key to everything we do as humans. You will be able to develop your use of many other counselling skills and work with your peers to use these. The course will take you through a brief history of the development of counselling theories and their implications on modern practice. We will also spend time discovering ourselves. This is a very interesting and stimulating course, it is challenging in terms of the personal development work.

The course is either pass or refer, to pass you have to demonstrate competency of all the units.
