Objective
basic skills in couples & family therapy
The aim of the course is to orient counsellors who have been trained to counsel adults and who are currently working with individual clients, preferably under supervision, to develop the awareness and skills required for relationship management. This course focuses on working with a couple/family system as a whole, which can help break dysfunctional and unhealthy family patterns that can be hard to change in an individual counselling setting.
This training has been specifically designed for counsellors, psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners who work with clients. It assumes that participants will have undergone rigorous foundational training, have ongoing client work and be supported in supervision and personal therapy.
