Accidental Counselling Training

At Calm Connections Counselling we recognise how important it is to look after the well being of those who help others.

Accidental Counselling Training is a 3 hour training session that helps people in the helping profession gain necessary skills in responding to people they care for while understanding their scope of practice, boundaries and self-care.

In this interactive and engaging workshop participants will;

  • Understand what accidental counselling skills is and the basic counselling skills that are required to engage in empathic communication

  • Develop an understanding of trauma and the importance of responding in a trauma informed manner

  • Understand the scope of their role including their boundaries, limits, ethical considerations and when to refer to professional services

  • Develop an awareness of burnout and the importance of practicing self-care and lifestyle strategies that reduce compassion fatigue

It’s no Accident, help is here for the Accidental Counsellor

‘‘It was a very informative and engaging session. It gave me a chance to gain useful information regarding possible actions to take to help others while caring for myself.’’
