WPF Certificate in Counselling Skills

Admissions for 2012 are now open.

We will be running a one year part-time evening course leading to the WPF Certificate in Counselling Skills from September 2012. The fee is £875 plus £30 selection fee.

This basic training in counselling skills and theory is intended for those people whose work or voluntary activities involve counselling skills, e.g. nurses, health visitors, doctors, surgery staff, teachers, clergy, social workers, police officers, probation officers and many others.

The course also forms the foundation for the WPF Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (BACP accredited) at TCC.

The course will run over 30 weeks of the year divided into three 10 week terms. It will take place on Tuesday evenings from 6.30pm to 9.45pm. There will also be three Saturday workshops.

Topics covered will include:

  • Nature of counselling and the client/counsellor relationship
  • Identification and development of counselling skills
  • Levels of counselling and alternative models
  • Patterns of human growth and development
  • Attachment and loss
  • Psychological stress and mechanisms of defence
  • Human psychological growth and development and how this influences relationship and behaviour
  • Using counselling skills in bereavement and loss
