Counselling is recognised as one of the most rewarding activities one can undertake, offering the opportunity to interact with people as they cope with or make decisions that have real meaning in their lives. Whether you plan to develop a full time career in Counselling & Psychotherapy or work currently as a Volunteer in your community the skills and attitude needed to become a counsellor require time, effort and practice. With this in mind the National Counselling Institute of Ireland is pleased to offer the Certificate in Counselling Skills and Practice in Maynooth this Autumn. This part- time course will be highly interactive:- delivery mode will be group discussions, lectures, role play exercise and student lead learning. Those who successfully complete the programme may access the range of HETAC accredited degree programmes offered by the National Counselling Institute of Ireland.  The course will be delivered locally by Ronan Flood supported by Liane Pollard and Maureen O’Reilly. Ronan, as a professional Personal and Business Coach specialising in interpersonal communications and transition, has great experience in the application of these skills.  Liane and Maureen, qualified Counsellors & Psychotherapists, have been associated with NCII for a number of years and have backgrounds in counselling and training.

An open evening will be held in the Blessington Library (above Dunnes Stores) on Thursday the 9th October at 7.00pm when full information on the course will be available.
