This certificate course in personal counselling
aims at meeting the need for continuing formation of professionals. We all experience
the need for updating and enriching ourselves, so as to better ourselves as individuals
and to raise the quality of the service we are rendering to people. The objective
is not to train candidates for the post of counsellor, but rather to assist professionals
in the 'helping professions' to enrich the quality of the services they are already
rendering to society. |

emphasis throughout the course is on training yourself to: |
| |
| Change
certain attitudes and habits, which are not in agreement with correct counselling |

the attitudes and skills that facilitate the counsellee's learning process, that
leads him/her to grow in maturity and actualize his/her human potential. |

| Learn
the art of listening |

| Study
the methodology of correct and complete communication. |
| |
| Get
in touch with 'self' in order to have better understanding of the 'other'. |
