Overview
The Psychology & Counselling Course offers a comprehensive exploration of stress, anxiety, and the skills necessary for effective counselling.
The curriculum begins with an in-depth analysis of stress, addressing what stress is, its effects on individuals, and the different ways people experience it. It also distinguishes between eustress (positive stress) and distress (negative stress), and covers the phenomena of burnout and the varied techniques for managing stress, including breathing exercises and pharmacological treatments. Additionally, the course examines the role of nutrition in stress management, highlighting the connection between diet and stress levels.
Transitioning to anxiety, the course delineates the difference between stress and anxiety, and discusses when anxiety may develop into a disorder. It covers various anxiety disorders such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder. The curriculum also delves into the intersection of addictions with both stress and anxiety, and outlines therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT). Practical techniques for reducing anxiety and the pharmacological options available are also discussed.
The counselling skills training modules equip learners with essential counselling techniques, exploring various counselling theories, legal and ethical issues, crisis intervention, and communication skills necessary for effective client interaction.
