Accidental Counsellor – Professional Course

This course has been postponed in consideration of the health & safety of both staff and participants in relation to the current COVID-19 situation.

Have you ever been caught without the words to help a friend, client, customer or co-worker who was dealing with a distressing situation? This one day workshop will provide you with the knowledge and skills to help you to help them in a safe way, without feeling you have to advise.

Do you find others (clients, customers, colleagues, friends, children) often open up to you and share their problems, sometimes distressing situations, and ask you what you think they should do?

Would you like to be clearer about what to say or do to really help them?

This one day workshop will:
- explore the differences between supporting, helping and rescuing
- define the role of Accidental Counsellor
- look at the A/C model including desirable traits and skills
- explore the significance of self-awareness, emotions, inner critic, personal perception filters and empathy
- study important aspects of specific life situations; and
- delve into self-care strategies

Concession available. To register for this professional course, please call (08) 6164 0239 to complete an enrolment.
