Course Description

Counselling Skills 2 reviews the learning of Counselling Skills 1 AND explores participants’ expectations. It places the concept of structures (beginnings, middles AND endings phases) WITHIN the counselling approach. It considers the importance of boundaries IN  helping relationships WHEN covering beginnings, AND focusses ON CHANGE AND challenge WHEN covering middles. It introduces participants TO the concept of human emotional attachment AND the consequences of losing attachments, loss AND re-attachment. Issues regarding sexuality are discussed WITH regard TO participants’ understanding, awareness, AND their role IN the counselling approach. Participants’ personal motives AND VALUES IN their roles AS helpers are reviewed. Endings are reflected ON TO give participants insight INTO what it means TO END the counselling approach WITH individuals. The module concludes WITH integrated practice of the above skills WITH a video AND a review of the personal development of EACH participant IN relation TO the content of the module.
