Co-Counselling (CCI) training

Everyone should know about Co-counselling! It is an excellent approach to self development for most people – you don’t have to be ill to get
better. It is valuable for anyone working in a caring role, as a volunteer or professional. It enables them to process issues that come up in the work, to become more relaxed and better at listening and supporting.

CCI Co-Counselling Core Training

This is the 40 hour core training course to become a CCI (Co-Counselling International) co-counsellor.

Co-counselling is for most people who are having difficulties in their lives or just want to be better at anything they want to do. It is especially valuable for people in the fields of caring or mental health – their own or anyone else’s.

Co-counselling is simple, safe and effective. It develops self confidence, self awareness and ease with emotions.

When co-counselling each person takes exactly equal turns to be the client and the counsellor and it is the person being the client who decides what they are going to do in their session. The person being the counsellor mainly or only gives very good, friendly, supportive attention. They aim not to respond in any way to the content of what the client is saying or doing.

CCI co-counselling is highly confidential, anything that a person does or says as client in a co-counselling session is never referred to again except by the person themselves if they want to. There is no discussion with colleagues, supervisors or managers – there aren’t any anyway. (There are limits to who can co-counsel including where there may be safeguarding concerns).

The course is mainly about learning what to do as the client. It takes 40 hours because it takes at least that to get used to it. The course is lively, experiential, interactive and having some fun is also important.

Our courses are currently run over 5 days at weekends. The days are 8 hours plus an hour for lunch, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. The location is on the outskirts of Alvechurch.
