Diploma In Grief And Bereavement Counselling

By studying this course you’ll gain a solid foundation in counselling in settings that involve the issues of grief and bereavement. Grieving people are especially vulnerable. So, before offering any counselling interventions, it is essential that you understand the principles of loss.

The course aims to offer key insights into these principles. On completion you should have greater confidence to reach out to the bereaved. This is enhanced by confronting your own personal concerns and anxieties which Kubler-Ross believes sometimes impede those wishing to help the bereaved individual.

This course seeks to sensitise you to the emotional pain of clients who are suffering what is, perhaps, the most painful experience any of us can endure.
