Informed Communication and Counselling for Practitioners & Students
 

A CPE accredited training program
 

Designed to introduce participants to counselling ideas and concepts that, when utilised in the therapeutic environment, will improve outcomes for clients. Participants are encouraged to carefully consider the concepts presented, fostering those that are in alignment with them while letting go of those that are not, an important practice in fine-tuning yourself as a practitioner. The course covers a number of concepts that are integral to being a highly effective and successful practitioner.

​

The course is designed to help individuals personally develop themselves. The information within it has been drawn from many sources over years of study and inquiry, and from many great resources. It is aimed at a range of practitioners, from body workers to counsellors and psychologists, and even movement practitioners, to better inform and educate our service providers, who are themselves under more pressure than ever with the increasing demands and stress being faced in society.

​

Based on current World Health Organisation (WHO) information, there is an epidemic of mental health–related and compensated time off work. Recognition of mainstream therapeutic treatment plans and pharmaceutical drug augmentation programs' inability to address the root causes of suffering, anxiety and disease brings light to the need for a more allied health approach, and the closing of the gap between our medical practitioners and alternative health therapists and counsellors, which was the inspiration for this material and workshop.

​

What's Covered?

​

• Participants will be given the opportunity to explore a more dynamic approach to counselling in combination with their current therapeutic approach by delving into various counselling methods and philosophies, discussing case studies and examples, and developing and refining their current counselling or coaching approach.

• Participants will be encouraged to discuss key concepts when working one-on-one or in small groups, as well as work individually on their course workbook. Outcomes and the ethical implications of applying this method to their current practice are also covered.

• Participants are expected to have a minimum entry-level counselling skill or qualification, be currently working within a small business or clinic, and be actively studying or enrolled in a practitioner course online, at university, or at college. Experience working with clients or current study in the holistic medicine field is important in understanding key concepts of this workshop.

• Participants can accrue 8 CPE points under the ATMS accredited registration requirements, however other governing bodies may recognise the program. Enquiries are welcome, and every effort will be made to meet your governing body's CPE requirements. Points can only be claimed on completion of the program within the time frame allocated.
