THE ACCIDENTAL COUNSELLOR TRAINING

For Anyone Not Trained As A Counsellor But Often Find Themselves in Counselling Situations By Accident.

Pedare Christian College

Full Day Accidental Counsellor Training

The Accidental Counsellor training is a full day program for people who are not qualified as clinical counsellors but often respond to emotional upset and distress because of the role they are in.

As an Accidental Counsellor you are not a qualified Counsellor and you don’t do therapy. However, regardless of title or qualification you are an Accidental Counsellor.Accidental Counsellors are people who find they are placed in a counselling/mentoring/coaching role by accident, as a result of requests for help from friends, colleagues, clients or others.THE ACCIDENTAL COUNSELLOR TRAINING will focus on 3 core themes:<ul><li>Wellbeing</li><li>Connection</li><li>Influence</li></ul>

WELLBEINGAs an Accidental Counsellor a focus on your wellbeing and self care is essential to avoid burnout.A focus on your wellbeing and self-care allows you to connect to the stories of pain and suffering you hear from the people you support.CONNECTWe connect to people's stories of pain and suffering by listening and acknowledging and validity what their experience.It's with this deep connection that safety and trust increases and the person begins to calm down. Then if appropriate you can ask questions to help the person discover their "next best step".INFLUENCEUsing practical "Solution Focused" questions and language patterns means you are not giving advice but more facilitating and empowering the person to take their next best step.

AREAS COVERED IN THE ACCIDENTAL COUNSELLOR TRAINING INCLUDE- Evidence based Wellbeing strategies from the field of Positive Psychology- Connection processes including reflective listening and the Perception Process- How to influence using Solution Focused Communication- and much more!
