The course is open to all counsellors and counselling support volunteers. It is assumed that all attendees will already have, as a minimum, basic counselling skills and knowledge of a person-centred approach to counselling.
Attendees who are grieving a recent personal loss may find that the content can trigger an episode of renewed grief. They are responsible for their own self-care during the sessions. The facilitator has permission from the clients mentioned to use their anonymous case study examples. Participants are asked to use due diligence in anything they share, which could break boundaries of confidentiality.
There will be a reading list for those who sign up ahead of the event.

Read MoreDr. Wilson covers many theories yet manages to make these accesible and understood with use of examples from his personal life and his work. The content covered is well paced and highly informative. He is very generous in sharing resources. The Q&A sessions in these lectures are helpful in consolidating the knowledge shared. A very good course if you want to have a good understanding of bereavement counselling.
