Learning Outcomes

Counselling is a type of ‘talk therapy’ where people can discuss the challenges they are facing in their lives. Counselling helps to reduce a client’s confusion. It allows the client to make effective and healthy decisions that lead to positive changes in their thinking and behaviour. Counselling can help a client to better cope with and manage difficult emotions, life circumstances, as well as physical and mental conditions.
