Counselling can be defined as that process of assistance that enables one or more people to go through the process of finding solutions to their concerns or difficulties. Counselling may take various forms, including with individuals, couples, families or domestic units and groups. Counsellors need to undergo basic Education and Training to qualify them to be recognized within the context of current national health and social service priorities. Ideally, counsellors will operate under supervision. Please see our page on Continuous Professional Development in order to learn more about improving your skills.
The C4CSA does not offer training, except for CPD points. CPD (Continuous Professional Development) is offered throughout the course of the year to members of the C4CSA and NHA. This is in line with national standards required for professional people to maintain registration with their respective professional bodies.
