ACE is thrilled to be a specialist provider of this brilliant one day skills development course.
This is a match for anyone who is not necessarily employed as a counsellor, however finds themselves in a counselling role as a result of conversations or requests for support that arise from clients or colleagues – honestly that could be all of us.
You might have a busy frontline administrative role, be a supervisor or team leader, nurse, teacher, coach, support worker, early childhood educator or complimentary health practitioner.
Our one day short course is a package of interactive activities, discussion and opportunities to practice learning so you can respond with increased skills and confidence.
