Certificate in Crisis Counselling

Why take this course?

This course is directed towards the student with basic knowledge of counselling. However it also caters for those already working in the field of counselling or those who are employed in the helping professions.

The premises of Crisis Counselling are that:

People need people and can help one another
In moments of crisis most people may not need or find immediate professional help
Especially in moments of crisis or trauma counsellors might not be available
Lay persons who are highly motivated and carefully trained can be effective counsellors
Talking and sharing is therapeutic when the client finds an empathetic listener
Relating to human needs in this way is an appropriate clinical and pastoral ministry

Learning Method
On-Line/Distance Learning

Asked by Davies - aus Submitted 1803 days ago

Given what you have said the most appropriate course would be the Diploma in Youth Counselling. I have copied details from our website - this course costs £499.00 and a target completion date would be 1 year. This is a Continued Professional Development Course and is not academically accredited.

Module 1 – Certificate in Counselling
This part of the course will provide you with a comprehensive and practical understanding of counselling knowledge and skills. Using Gerard Egan’s renowned three stage model outlined in ‘The Skilled Helper’, the syllabus takes a problem management and opportunity development approach to helping.

The module includes the following topics:

Introduction to Counselling Theory
The Psychodynamic Approach
The Behavioural Approach
The Person-Centred Approach
The Cognitive Approach
The Pastoral Approach
The Counselling Process
Basic Counselling Skills
Core Skills of "The Skilled Helper"
Professional Practice

Module 2– Youth Counselling
Throughout the course you will systematically explore the following topics and issues:

Educational & Vocational Issues
Emotional Issues
Relational Issues
Family Issues
Counselling Abused Young People
Sexual Issues
Theories and Research on Human Growth and Development

After each module you will be awarded a Certificate and on successful completion of the course you are awarded the Institute's Diploma in Youth Counselling.
