Course Overview
Learn what makes a great counsellor by observing real counselling sessions and studying important theoretical approaches. Use this new knowledge to master communication, reflection, and interpersonal skills to enhance the service you provide.
This course shows you how to use counselling skills at work and in everyday life to form deeper professional relationships with staff, colleagues, customers, clients, and service users based on mutual respect and understanding.
People who find this course particularly useful are those in a functional role, for example: personal trainers, nurses, life coaches, carers, human resources, teaching, and anyone who has ambitions to go on to become a counsellor.
