Description
Welcome toA Guided Tour of Person-Centred Counselling & Psychotherapy! Led by a BACP-accredited person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, this course offers a warm, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to the person-centred approach. With four years as a counselling tutor and extensive experience working with adults, children, and young people in various settings—including managing a therapy service in a school—your instructor is dedicated to equipping you with essential therapeutic skills.

After leaving my teaching role in February 2023, I felt inspired to share my knowledge and experiences through this online course. Together, we will explore the journey of humanistic psychology, leading to the emergence of the person-centred approach. You'll gain insights into its historical context and understand its relevance in today's therapeutic landscape.

The course is structured thoughtfully, beginning with an overview of psychology's evolution before focusing on person-centred counselling theory. You’ll learn about the foundational ideas that underpin this approach and how it conceptualizes mental health, addressing questions like, "What is the best way to help people?"

As we progress, we’ll delve into practical counselling skills essential for a person-centred practitioner when working with clients. In our final module, you'll witness a simulated counselling session featuring an actor discussing fictional challenges. I'll provide real-time reflections on the session, sharing my thoughts on what was said and what could have been approached differently. This collaborative learning experience is designed to bring you as close as possible to the realities of effective counselling practice.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear understanding of the person-centred approach's origins, comprehensive counselling theory, practical skills required in therapy, and what an actual counselling session may entail. Join us and embark on this enlightening journey to enhance your knowledge and practice in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy!Keywords: person-centered counselling, online psychotherapy course, introduction to person-centered therapy, humanistic psychology, counselling theory, practical counselling skills, person-centered approach, accessible therapy education, therapist training course, BACP accredited therapist, simulated counselling session, empathy in therapy, supportive therapeutic practice.
