  • Description

    This study unit on relationship counselling is intended to meet the needs of learners who interact with individuals and groups in a counselling context where clients are enabled to go through the process of finding solutions to their concerns and/or difficulties. Its meant to develop learners who are able to manage themselves in relation to others, interact with other people and behave ethically in a counselling context.

    Group counselling provides an excellent opportunity to reach a number of people with similar challenges simultaneously, for example clients going through separation or divorce, people with alcohol addiction or stress, burnout or anxiety. Group counselling has the  added advantage that members of a group can share their experiences and struggles to build rapport with one another to contribute to empowering of the individual. People wrestling with problems find it comforting to hear that others have similar challenges and they may benefit by learning how those people manage to cope. Group counselling can be used to advertise and build a counselling practice.

    This study unit will introduce the counsellor to the nature and scope of crises and develop counselling competencies to deal with clients who experience a crisis or health challenge, worry and fear.
