Personal Development - Continuing to Grow (PD2)
This 30-hour course allows participants to deepen their self-awareness and personal growth. All members of the group will have previously completed the course “Personal Development and Counselling Skills” with Paula and therefore will have the skills to offer appropriate support for each other.
This course will be experiential in nature and will feel comparable to the previous group experience. There will be new material to explore with a focus on making personal application of the material in one’s own life. This will be beneficial personally as well as benefiting participants in their interactions with family, friends and colleagues.
A willingness to openly explore and share with others will again be necessary. Each group will have between eight and sixteen members. The group may be a ‘new’ group, drawing together participants from a variety of previous groups. A new contract regarding confidentiality will be established at our first meeting.
Progression
This course does not lead to a professional qualification as a counsellor or psychotherapist. It is designed for personal growth.
Assessment
There is no assessment in this course, however activities to consolidate the learning will be discussed and encouraged. Participants attending a minimum of 80% of the course will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
