Griffith College Dublin

The Counselling and Psychotherapy "Diploma" Course combines an integration of different approaches to counselling and a detailed look at theories from each of the outlined areas. It aims to give an insight into the origins of counselling and psychotherapy and how this has moved on from the work of Freud. It will cover family theory, trauma theory, and specifically the person centered approach to working with the client. Addiction, personality and assessment (taking in aspects of ethical considerations) will also be worked through. It will expose those taking the course to the realities of counselling and psychotherapy and all work will be referenced and supported by practical examples and case studies.

This course will improve the student‘s ability to listen and appreciate the supports required in these areas. It will also provide the student with a concrete foundation for further studies in this area.
