Curriculum
Counselling is a technique that aims at preventing mental health matters from impacting someone's life by employing education and short-term treatments. You will learn about counselling and its theories, history and the role of counsellors in helping clients with their emotional and psychological well-being. Counselling adults requires a different approach to that employed with children due to children's inability to communicate their feelings accurately. We illustrate the techniques used to counsel both and treat them according to their respective mental capabilities.
Making a marriage work is one of the most challenging tasks in an individual's personal life. Discover the importance of seeking couple therapy, the communication barriers couples face and various techniques for resolving relationship issues to living an emotionally fulfilled life. Investigate the importance and role conflicts play in a couple's life and ways to resolve and improve their relationships. You will also learn how to cultivate and maintain intimacy as a couple by understanding your partner's needs and values. We demonstrate how to apologise and forgive if one partner has done something wrong. Understand the characteristics of a secure and stable relationship, the significance of managing finances and methods to strengthen a secure base as a couple. Infidelity is one of the major causes of divorce and it is often challenging for a cheating partner to regain trust after an affair. Know how to open conversations about the issue and ways to promote healing and rebuild the relationship.
