Pupils cannot learn when they are preoccupied with emotional upsets. Through effective counselling you can enhance their learning and achievement. This course aims to build your confidence and affirm your present counselling practices when dealing with pupils’ issues and concerns. It will give you the opportunity to try out non-directive counselling and the new directive Client Centered Behaviour Therapy. By using emotional intelligence you will also acquire skills and guidance on how to deal with children’s grief and bullying. Delegates will receive Jeanie’s Practical Counselling Skills book.
