Progressive Counselling and Coaching Professional Training (to Dip.PCouns/Coach qualification). Help others resolve conflict ~ gain greater self-awareness. Outstanding professional training for individuals and organisations
This training gives the opportunity to take counselling to a highly advanced level. It is for those who wish to help others effect positive and life enhancing changes, to assist their individual growth and personal development in every way.
We see Progressive Counselling as an intuitive art, requiring a great depth of wisdom, understanding and unconditional love.
This Course is suitable for professionals practising in many different fields as advanced training and continuing professional development (CPD).
Emphasis will first be placed on deepening the intuitive awareness of students, on learning ways of identifying the subtle ego and its reactions, and on releasing conditioning and emotional preferences. Only those who desire progress within themselves will be able to assist with Progressive Counselling for others, for this counselling is healing in a very deep and real sense, touching the spiritual essence of each person as well as the physical, emotional and mental levels.
Training will be carefully paced and monitored by the tutors, with the individual’s progress very much in mind. The Course will consist of six intensive training modules; three in each of the first two calendar years ~ with a final assessment module into the third year. At least two Supervisions will need to be arranged by the student between Course modules 3 and 4, also between 6 and 7, as well as least two Progressive Counsellings for their own progress each year. Assignments, both written and practical, will be set in the intervening periods. Ongoing support from the tutors will be available during the Course and afterwards, as necessary.
Students may request a gap year between the Modules.
