Everyday Counselling Skills
Many non-counselling professionals find themselves in day-to-day situations where they are called to support another person emotionally, such as responding to someone experiencing distress, anger, confusion, anxiety or fear.
Target Audience: For those staff who want to be emotionally supportive in their work role or in their personal roles.
The Everyday Counselling Skills course provides participants with the opportunity to practice using a range of tools that can be applied to a wide range of issues, in their practice as well as in their daily lives.
Participants will learn how to establish and build safe and positive relationships and provide solution-focused responses, as well as providing brief interventions and understanding when to refer.
