Counselling Skills

Listening and collaboration are central to building therapeutic relationships and supporting change in young people. Students explore person-centred, strengths-based, and solution focused approaches to change with children and youth. Emphasis is on effective listening, developing a therapeutic alliance, and understanding the role of a child and youth care practitioner in supporting change and self-determination. Through demonstrations, role-play, and practice videos, students employ micro-skills of counselling.
