Person Centred Counselling
The course provides a framework for skills in personal presence, interaction and intervention that all professionals need to practise in order to be fully present, motivated and effective practitioners. It emphasises the importance of person-centred core conditions of engagement, covers difficulties in working with resistance and ways of promoting professional development and wellbeing.
The skills we use in our engagement with clients are of the utmost importance for effective work. We may have learned some of those skills during our training but when pressure mounts and workloads increase, there is a tendency to forget the impact of the way we engage and the deleterious effects of less than optimal people skills.
