NEW TWILIGHT STUDY DIPLOMA IN ADLERIAN COUNSELLING 2010-2012

Venue: Adlerian Counselling Centre, Narberth.

Following satisfactory completion of the Certificate in Adlerian Counselling or equivalent qualification plus an Adlerian Access course, students are eligible to work towards the Diploma in Adlerian Counselling.

This two-year part-time course of 285 hours provides a firm foundation in counselling theory, skills, practice and personal development, using an integrative approach underpinned by the theory and practice formulated by Alfred Adler, whose thinking has influenced psychodynamic, cognitive and humanistic approaches. Adlerian counselling takes an holistic view of the person in his or her social setting, exploring the purpose of their behaviour. It emphasises a counselling relationship based on equality, respect and encouragement.
The course presents a thorough training in both the theory and practice of counselling with an emphasis on experiential work and personal development. Students are required to have a minimum of twenty hours of their own personal counselling during each year of the course. The Adlerian Centre has a list of local counsellors, some of whom offer reduced rates to students.

Experienced trainers from home and abroad present the weekend workshops, as well as other specialists being invited to facilitate many of the evening sessions.
