Counselling Skills


Basic Counselling skills can be used in many professional areas of work, by offering a trained listening ear to those who have difficulty in seeing a solution to their problems. 

The element that distinguishes the use of counselling skills from other activities are the intentions of the user, which is to support their existing role within the caring professions in the corporate, statutory and voluntary sectors, the recipient in turn, will perceive them in that role. This introductory course does not qualify learners to become counsellors in any way.
