Potentiality: A Person-Centred Approach to Counselling Young People
|
|
|
|
Details: |
Working with young people can be uniquely demanding and stimulating; in one day a counsellor may be called upon to use his or her knowledge of child development, give some thought
to person-centred theory, work through an ethical issue and use good negotiating skills with an external agency, all with just one client and often with more than one.
By linking theory and experiential work throughout, this four-day course aims to enable participants to become confident, effective practitioners in counselling young people. We will answer the following questions and hope to raise several more:
���� How does my own experience as an adolescent and an adult have an impact on my work with young people?
���� Why do they act like that? How does their development and early childhood inform their behaviour?
���� What are they like as clients? Is it really so different from counselling adults?
���� What does person-centred theory have to say about working with young people and how can it support my practice?
���� How can I work creatively with young clients across a broad spectrum of ability?
���� What does research tell me about working with young people and how can I incorporate it into my practice?
���� How can I balance confidentiality with child protection?
