Training Course Description
This Skilled Helper training course provides a chance to learn from Prof. Gerard Egan, a renowned expert with 60+ years experience in counselling and professional helping. The model, initially introduced in his book, The Skilled Helper, in 1975, is still one of the most widely embraced approaches to counseling in modern times.
Skilled helping is a process that enables people to define their issues, take responsibility for their challenges, identify avenues for growth, and set meaningful goals to achieve them. This training will equip you with the knowledge of the three stages of the Skilled Helper model and the ability to facilitate impactful conversations with individuals in need.
Influenced by Carl Rogers, Egan developed a helping approach that closely aligns with person-centred counselling. By utilising active listening skills, this approach allows coaches and counselors to gain a deep understanding of their clients’ main concerns or challenges, while also assisting them in identifying and resolving the core issues at hand.
You’ll learn how to create a positive and solution-oriented environment where people feel comfortable discussing their needs. Plus, you will receive the insights required to host effective skilled-helping discussions that help people to focus on what they want instead of dwelling on the past, and create a realistic plan to achieve their goals.
This course offers a holistic framework, complemented by thought-provoking questions and exercises. It equips individuals with the essential tools to attain clarity in their priorities, establish purposeful goals, cultivate a harmonious life balance, and discover new avenues for personal growth and advancement, all while nurturing inner peace.
All Achology training materials are produced in High-Definition video, accompanied by an MP3 version and PDF resources to complement your learning experience with us. The course is available on-demand and offers a cohesive framework to contextualise your studies and establish a strong foundation for developing skilled helping competency.
By embracing this timeless approach to helping people, you will be equipped to engage in focused dialogues that stimulate positive growth in others. This actionable methodology encompasses a wide range of skills, including active listening, goal setting, visualisation, problem-solving, and creative thinking. What sets this course apart is the exclusive opportunity to receive instruction directly from Gerard Egan himself.
