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.
