“A perception of reality is not the same as reality itself”
(Theories of Counselling and Psychotherapy, 1986)

Overview

Each person in this world is individual. There are no two people who are exactly alike. Therefore it is important to recognise these differences when taking on a role of support, whether it is for friends and family, or people you may come across in every day life. This short course will provide a framework for support based on the way people think and perceive the reality in which they live. It will provide you with the skills needed to help people identify their own positive and negative thoughts, and develop a process to self recovery. The skills developed in this short course will be invaluable to those wishing to take on  supporting role in the lives of others, and will also benefit those who are simply seeking self improvement.
