It aims to give you more confidence when counselling students. Many school and college staff have a great deal of experience of counselling students, without necessarily knowing about the next steps.

This course aims to offer you the opportunity of experiencing different counselling theories and practices. It will help you practise and develop practical skills in both direct and non-directive counselling and key aspects from Rogerian, Gestalt, Psychodrama, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Many of these skills will also have a positive effect on your classroom teaching. All delegates will receive Jeanie’s Advanced Counselling Skills book.

Who should attend?
