This course aims to enable students to develop the personal qualities and professional skills necessary for competent and reflective practitioners within a person centred framework. Self-awareness, counselling theory, practice and research are integrated to a level that enables course members to engage with therapeutic processes in a range of counselling relationships. Although the counselling programme is structured on a modular basis it is conceptualised as a comprehensive experience. The programme has four strands: Counselling Relationship and Therapeutic Process; Counselling Theory and Research; Personal Development; Professional Development. This course constitutes the 1st module of the counselling programme.

This course offers an in-depth exploration of Carl Rogers’ theory of Person-Centred counselling In keeping with the theoretical focus the personal and professional development aspects of the course will centre on the development of the essential core personal qualities that form the basis of the Person Centred Approach to Counselling. There will be an ongoing focus on developing counselling skills and understanding the core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence. Within a supportive environment the course will continue to develop the concepts of self and peer evaluation with time in small and large personal and professional development groups. Course members will be expected to accept and advocate a value system fostering trust, openness and non-judgemental acceptance.
