This qualification is designed to give learners the knowledge, skills and competencies to work as a self-employed counsellor in independent practice, or to take on a senior counselling role in an organisation, where client assessment, referral and routine evaluation are part of the role.
The course is designed to develop your practice to work with more complex and enduring problems. We will explore attachment disorders, maladaptive schemas, how to work with trauma and using the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for healing. You will be introduced to our own model which informs an integrative and holistic way of working with clients and what they bring.
In addition, the course will explore the requirements of establishing an independent practice such as client assessment and marketing yourself as an independent counsellor.
The course will teach you to:
-
To work safely, legally and ethically as an independent counsellor
