Introduction to Counselling  - experiential taster morning
Advertisement
This experiential taster morning offers an introduction to what counselling involves.
Counselling is not primarily about giving advice or solving problems, but about developing understanding through listening, curiosity and self-awareness within a supportive relationship.
During the morning, participants will take part in simple experiential exercises designed to offer a sense of how counselling works in practice.
We will explore:
• what it feels like to be listened to attentively
• how curiosity supports understanding
• how counselling focuses on being seen and heard
• the role of self-awareness in therapeutic work
The session is suitable for anyone:
• considering training as a counsellor
• interested in developing listening skills
• curious about counselling
• interested in personal development
No previous experience is required.
The morning is designed to be supportive, accessible and gently paced.
This taster session also offers a pathway into an 8-week Introduction to Counselling course beginning in September for those who wish to continue exploring these skills.
Group size is kept small to support learning through experience.
