Humanistic Counselling is about the personal nature of the human experience. Love, creativity, meaning and understanding of the individual human being are all central to this vital and popular form of counselling. Humanistic psychology is often called the "Third Way"; not about the scientific side of behaviour or about examining our past, but about understanding the fullness of our rich human experience.
The online course in humanistic counselling will enable you to gain a comprehensive understanding of humanistic counselling with the support and guidance of an expert counsellor and tutor. You’ll learn about the history of this popular method, notable therapists and theories, together with a practical understanding of how to apply the skills in daily life.
If you’re an existing Therapist, you can use this course to add Humanistic Counselling to your therapeutic toolkit or for professional development.
