Everyday Counselling Skills

The Everyday Counselling Skills course provides participants with the opportunity to practice using a range of tools that can be applied to a wide range of issues, in their practice as well as in their daily lives.

Participants will learn how to establish and build safe and positive relationships and provide solution-focused responses, as well as providing brief interventions and understanding when to refer.

This course will support participants to:

• Understand what is meant by ‘everyday counselling’ as distinct from formal counselling;
• Have a working knowledge of the Stages of Change model and understand when to refer;
• Build skills including relationship-building, communication, strategic questioning and feedback;
• Provide solution-focused responses and strategies and encourage help-seeking where appropriate;
• Engage in brief interventions using the Frames model to support clients; and
• Integrate their learning from this course into their practice and/or their own lives.

Target Audience: For those staff who want to be emotionally supportive in their work role or in their personal roles.

Prices: Associate Member $261.00, Full Member $232.00, Non Member $290.00, Scholarship pre-approval $29.00
