Holistic Counselling Skills for Healing Practitioners
Course Information
Holistic counselling and all healing practices are fundamentally about the process of human change – about restoring the wholeness of being in a balanced way. This course will give you the essence of holistic counselling principles and skills to immediately apply and complement your healing modality. You will learn the “heart and soul of change”, a deep listening practice that will enhance your self-awareness and intuition, relational attunement, effective facilitative language, and working with others in a trauma-informed and recovery-oriented way.
The course has four workshops that are building on each other. All workshops are practice-focused, hands-on, with individual attention and guidance. You will receive manuals, readings, and recommendations for additional resources.
You are welcome to attend the free webinar on Thursday 27th January at 7pm to hear more details about the course and ask all questions.
