CO2504: FURTHER STEPS IN COUNSELLING 2 (2015-2016)

Each unit has been designed to enable participants to evidence two core competencies whilst they are engaged in large and small group discussions and practice groups.  
Competence 1: Establish, maintain and bring to an end a supportive interaction. 
Competence 2: Self Monitoring.

Further Steps 2 will focus on  the following topics

• Transpersonal Perspective and Psychosynthesis
• Integration of counselling Skills and video-taped practice
• Working with conflict
• Practical experiential work using counselling skills to develop practice in the seminar/workshop on a weekly basis.
• Presenting self analysis of transcript and receiving feedback and/or working creatively using a counselling approach.

This course may not be suitable for anyone who is currently receiving counselling or has faced a serious emotional issue in the last six months.
