Counselling International

Training

Since October 2008 the international Diploma Course in Counselling & Coaching has started in The Hague with a group of enthusiastic students that meet on 10 training Saturdays. Currently a second group is being formed for training on Fridays, this new group is scheduled to start Feb. 27th.

The course is presented by the Academy for Counselling and Coaching and is based on person-centred principles: anyone with sufficient English-language ability and with the capacity to handle the course literature and requirements is welcome to register. Full details and registration via www.counselling.nl (mind: double ll).  Do check out the possibility of qualifying for a bursary!

The course consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part requires studying the literature which is further explained during training days and discussed in small study groups. Practical skills are demonstrated and learned through exercises during training days and also practised with study group and real clients. This way new knowledge and skills build on existing talents and experience and add to professional repertoire, so that learning is immediately applicable in daily life or work and may serve as basis for a career switch or advancement.

People who take such a course inevitably gain insight in their own/others behaviour and motivation and this can lead to an amazing growth process. Useful communication skills and helpful feedback can become tools for better interaction. So personal growth can be a goal for taking this course, as can professional development.
