This CPD-accredited course is designed to supplement your existing counselling qualifications, giving you a comprehensive understanding of the emotional issues, problems and obstacles that can arise within a relationship.
Every couple is different, and the nature of their relationship depends on a number of factors. Career or financial pressures and life transition points can weaken a relationship that was previously strong and cause acrimony. An increasing number of couples experience rising relationship stress due to the hectic pace of modern-day living.
You will learn:
- The different circumstances, behaviours and factors that can have a negative effect on relationships and cause friction between couples
- How each partner expresses themselves, and an analysis of control, power and violence in relationships that usually forms the basis of conflicts
- How to help clients uncover hidden, repressed and simmering emotions and redirect their communications with each other using positive strategies
- How to help couples explore positive, responsive strategies rather than reactive ones when communicating with each other
- How to counsel couples to recognise patterns in the relationship and analyse the different types of conflicts
- How to help couples overcome their problems and develop positive strategies to resolve their differences
The course comprises 9 modules and around 6 hours of learning, covering topics from emotionally focused therapy and romantic attachments to working through conflict and overcoming blocks.
