Counselling and Psychotherapy Techniques
The module provides a grounding in basic counselling and psychotherapeutic technique. There is an emphasis on developing communication skills, which will be particularly useful when dealing with others in a therapeutic setting and also in recognition of the ‘therapeutic trance.’ The skills learnt will also have a practical relevance for business and personal relationships. Some of the areas covered may include boundaries, authentic expression, codependency, conflict resolution, dream analysis, family constellations/Gestalt, transference onto therapist, countertransference, resistance and cutting cords.
