Program Overview

Counselling skills can help you gain insight into how to interact effectively with others.

On this course you will learn the basic counselling skills, such as how to accurately reflect back what the person is saying, summarising and asking open-ended questions. This involves using what are sometimes called the 'core' conditions. These conditions involve being genuine in our interactions with others and expressing empathy and unconditional positive regard.

You will begin to develop the ability to be with the person without introducing your own agenda, to accept on their terms what they are saying, and at the same time to be genuine in the person you are.
