An introduction to the core skills and stages of effective counselling — active listening, empathy, rapport-building and the counselling process.

It focuses on developing essential counselling competencies such as active listening, empathy, rapport building, questioning skills, reflection, summarising, attending behaviour and therapeutic communication.
