How to do Effective Counselling

If your work involves advising, treating or counselling disturbed or distressed people, this seminar could be the most important you ever attend.

Research shows that a solution-focused, brief therapy approach to counselling is more cost-effective than drugs or long-term psychotherapy for treating a whole range of distress, including: anxiety, PTSD, depression, panic attacks, sexual problems, compulsive behaviour (OCD), eating disorders, addictions, as well as helping survivors of abusive relationships or traumatic events. Joe Griffin explains why these skills are easy to learn and need to be more widely known.
