This course introduces the art of counselling skills as a part of the growth process. Basic helping skills will be explored from Hill’s three stage model of helping; exploration, insight and action. Students will be provided a framework from which they can approach the counselling process. They will also learn specific skills to use in sessions with clients to help their clients explore, gain insight, and make changes in their lives. Students will also begin to explore the process of coming to think of themselves as a helper.
