Accidental counsellor

Accidental counsellor

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you don’t know what to say or how to respond?

Accidental Counselling will provide you with practical skills; whether you are talking to someone going through a difficult time, having relationship issues, not coping with life, or feeling helpless. This course will help you respond in a helpful and appropriate way.

This course will engage you with captivating videos, theories, and a 24-page workbook filled with practical information and exercises to consolidate your key learnings.

You will learn how to listen to someone in distress, assist them to identify their strengths, self-regulate, identify potential options and engage in help-seeking behavior if needed. You will discover how to re-frame their thinking to give them a different perspective on something that previously painted a negative picture.

Topics covered include:

  • Basic counselling skills
  • How to become a good listener
  • Resolving emotional situations
  • Know your own triggers
  • How not to take things personally
  • Recognising common communication blockers and how to overcome them
  • How to handle difficult callers or conversations
  • An overview on mental health challenges and mental well-being
  • Recognising suicidal thoughts and how to talk about that
  • The importance of self-care
  • How to implement appropriate boundaries
  • The power of Mindfulness
