What if real changes did not come from being directed on what to do, but from being properly and authentically heard for the first time in your life?

Humanistic counselling focuses on this approach and creates a very safe space where people can explore who they really are without any pressure, judgements or labels. The purpose of this approach is to establish deeper and lasting improvement to develop in a person.

For example, what if the real breakthrough isn’t in actually fixing yourself, but being finally better understood without the usual judgments.

If you put away the labels, the self-editing and the accompanying pressure or the constant need to improve yourself all the time. The constant editing that you put yourself through to fit into others’ expectations in society so as not to feel that reoccurring pattern of pain and negative feelings. I am less than, that hurt and rejection. All the ridicule that you experience or fear from others.

Humanistic counselling doesn’t push, pull or force changes within you. It just creates the conditions where the change that’s needed starts to happen naturally, all on its own and is deeper and more lasting than anything driven by force or effort.

This Humanistic Counselling Diploma Course introduces the student to the core principles of helping and supporting others in a way that specifically values their unique experiences, personal responsibility and their capacity for improvement and self-growth.

On this course you will learn developing listening skills, empathy and the ability to create a safe supportive environment where clients can explore their own feelings and thoughts openly with less resistance or inhibition.

This therapeutic approach of humanistic counselling is based on the belief and understanding that people have an inherent drive towards their own self development and fulfilment rather than directing, controlling or diagnosing and the councillor works alongside the individual in this, offering better understanding, insight and acceptance. This particular approach is widely used in both personal development and professional counselling settings.

The benefits of learning humanistic counselling include improved communication abilities and skills and greater emotional awareness with the ability to support others in a meaningful and more respectful, understanding way. It can also deepen your own personal insight and strengthen relationships making it a great tool for both professionals and in your own everyday life.

This course is open to anyone experienced or non-experienced who wishes to learn more about this subject and is ideally suited to existing therapists who already work within related therapeutic fields.
