Who is it for?
This workshop is designed to assist employees who are not trained counsellors but find themselves in a “counselling role by accident” within their organisation and are not sure how to safely and with integrity contain the conversation and refer clients or customers to the correct therapeutic intervention.
What will it be like?
The work is usually delivered in a half day (3.5 hours) but can delivered over a whole day depending on the needs of your team. The trainer will liaise with your organisation to customise the content and scenarios to the context in which your team works.
