“Being heard by another person greatly influences the way all of us think about ourselves and organise our lives”
(Life Skills Helping: A Textbook of Practical Counselling and Helping Skills, 1992)

Overview
This short course is ideal for those wishing to advance their natural communication skills in order to help others who may be experiencing times of distress or change, and are in need of support. You have been communicating for as long as you can remember, therefore the process may seem to be almost second nature. However, to be as effective as possible, it is important that you are able to apply these communication skills in order to convey acceptance, genuineness, empathy and respect in your supportive counselling role. By studying a specific communication model, you will be able to recognise common communication barriers as well as the importance of counselling micro-skills. This course is an ideal platform for those wishing to advance onto a higher level of study in this field, and also for those who are simply looking for self improvement.
