Why This Relationship Counseling Course Stands Out
Most courses stay generic. This program trains you in how to work with real relationship patterns—assessment, conceptual clarity, and structured interventions across couples and families.
Strong Foundations + Practical Assessment
Learn the scope of relationship counselling, build alliance/rapport, and understand relationship functioning across the lifespan—backed by Systems, Attachment, and communication models (Satir, Gottman).
Couple + Family Work (Tools You Actually Use)
Train in family and couple counselling with hands-on tools like genograms, sculpting, role-play, reframing, and structured work for parenting concerns, disability/illness contexts, and intergenerational conflict.
Therapy Approaches + Practice Integration
Apply CBT, SFBT, and EFT in relationship contexts, practice tools like thought records, scaling, and emotion cycle mapping, and integrate creative interventions plus life skills for relationship success.
What you’ll be able to do after completing the course
- Work confidently with relationship issues using relationship theories, communication strategies, conflict resolution techniques, and empathy-building approaches.
- Facilitate constructive conversations and guide individuals/couples/families toward healthier relational dynamics using structured counselling work.
- Apply therapeutic approaches in relationship counselling: CBT (distortions, belief restructuring, behavioural change), SFBT (exceptions, miracle question, scaling), and EFT (de-escalation, restructuring, consolidation).
- Use practical couple/family tools: genograms, role-play, reframing, and intervention planning for common concerns (communication conflict, infidelity, financial issues, parenting challenges).
