During these 4 days you will be assessed whilst working with volunteer clients.
Honing your skills whilst in a supportive environment, using the triad coaching model and constructive feedback, you will gain a deeper level of understanding that can only be achieved through application of the techniques you have learnt.
We have exacting standards. It is a privilege to hold a therapeutic space for your clients, who are often vulnerable, and having the confidence, self-assuredness to do this in a safe environment, we believe is paramount.
During the 4 days, we will cover deepening work to add to your skillset whilst providing you with feedback about your strengths and areas identified for improvement, so that you can continue to grow and learn beyond the academia of the diploma course.
This is a must for those who intend to work with clients on a therapeutic level. Our combined years of teaching, training, and mentoring have taught us that it is one thing to learn in the classroom, it is an entirely different thing to work with individuals – they haven’t read the textbooks!
