In this foundations course you will learn and practice the 21 core techniques of peer to peer counselling (co-counselling).
Upon completing the training you will become part of the local and international network of co-counsellors (Co-Counselling International - CCI) with whom you can continue regular co-counselling sessions for free.
Practicing co-counselling empowers you to become your own leader and relate honestly and with compassion to yourself and those around you. Co-counselling can also be thought of as relationship counselling - it's about learning to nourish all relationships in our lives; from our relationship with ourselves, to our relationships with friends, families, lovers, colleagues, and with the world at large.
This course will be facilitated by Kathleen Cassidy who has led trainings across the UK. Here are some quotes from people who have completed recent co-counselling trainings with her:
''This course has been challenging and important for me. It has opened up a whole new world of possibility in terms of what counselling is. I loved the reciprocal nature of the course and found it much more useful than traditional counselling'.
‘‘Within a 10 minute co-counselling session, I was to my surprise able to access the buried grief about my dead father, something that was previously not possible in a £75/h therapy sessions.’
''The quality of Kathleen's teaching was fantastic, and the course was enhanced by the regular support by teachers with over 20 years' experience. I got a lot out of the techniques almost immediately, and think co-counselling (as well as advocating independence and self-reliance) offers a route to important experiences that might take months of therapy.''
The course will take place over 10 online classes between and will run over the following Monday evenings in the Autumn of 2020. Please note there is also an daytime course running in the autumn and you can find more details of that here:
