Positive Wellbeing and Counselling for Groups

In this subject, the usefulness, relevance and relationship of coaching and positive psychology to counselling will be explored. Positive psychology emphasises the importance of finding meaning, purpose and a sense of accomplishment and moves away from focusing in what is clinically wrong. Students will review positive psychology’s contribution as an approach to the ‘helping relationship’, including exploration of conflicting viewpoints and their respective empirical support. As part of their exploration of the key positive psychology theorists, students will begin to develop an understanding of how they can synthesise coaching work into their potential coaching practice. They will learn a range of particular coaching skills, including solution‐ focused and strengths‐based approaches, explore goal setting for personal and professional use. This subject will balance theory and practice in its delivery and students will be encouraged to engage in interactive learning through discussion and experiential practice.

Empower people to thrive. You’ll explore the science of happiness and gather skills to help clients achieve it. From life coaching to career coaching, your knowledge of positive psychology will be a powerful counselling, mentoring and training tool.

Coaching and Positive Psychology

This subject prepares the student for working with clients through the processes of loss, grief, and change. The effects of grief in terms of human suffering and the associated psychological costs of providing support are critical issues that will be addressed. This subject provides a holistic approach to grief and loss counselling. Students explore the various experiences and stages associated with the process of grieving. Students develop the required skills to work compassionately with people who suffer psychological fall-outs and face existential questions following a variety of losses. The multiple losses associated with aging, relationship change, physical and mental health problems, loss of role and identity challenges are analysed. Students will develop their understanding of death and dying including bereavement counselling, spiritual practice and end of life plans. Students learn the distinction between grief and complicated grief whilst recognizing and respecting the uniqueness of each client&#39;s experience.
