Grief and Bereavement Counselling Certification

Every person experiences grief and bereavement at some point in their lives, and grief affects people differently. While some are able to process loss in a healthy way and move on with their lives, others remain trapped in the grief cycle, unable to make a healthy transition to their new reality. Grief counselling can help uncover unresolved emotions and process complicated feelings.

All you need to complete this course is a willing and open mind. It includes detailed written content and an easy-to-understand video script.

What you will learn:

• An introduction to grief, loss, bereavement and attachment
• Different aspects of the grief experience
• The different stages of grief according to the Kubler-Ross model
• How negative emotions such as denial, anger and depression unfold during the grieving process
• The tasks of mourning and how they provide a sense of control
• How grief counselling helps, and the different techniques you can use during counselling sessions
• The companionship model and dual process model of grieving theories
• Factors that affect the mediation process

The course runs across 5 modules (around 4 hours of learning): Loss and the Grief Experience, Grief, Loss and Bereavement: The Different Stages, Grief Counselling: Understanding the Mourning Process, Mediating the Grieving Process, and Useful Techniques in Grief Counselling.
