Personal Development Groups 2025

One of the things that many students say as they come to the end of the COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate course is that they will miss the personal development and growth that comes from the work of the whole group space.

Led by our experienced group facilitators, we ran two personal development groups in 2024: these were open and supportive spaces, spaces in which we were able to encounter the Self and encounter the other.

The feedback has encouraged us to offer another in January - March 2025.

As before, there won’t a set agenda or a timetable of teaching points for each week but, after the creation of a shared working agreement, we will, as Rogers put it: “…trust the group, given a reasonably facilitating climate, to develop its own potential and the potential of its members.”

Who?

This group is open to anyone who has already done - or is doing - a COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate; anyone currently on - or who has completed - a Counselling Diploma course.

If you haven’t done the COSCA Certificate but find yourself interested and you have experience in group work, please do get in touch with us.

There will be a maximum of 8 people in the group and a facilitator.

Where?

We will once again run our Personal Development Group on Tuesday evenings in Tolcross from 28th January to 11th March 2025 (with a break on Feb 11th for half term).

Cost?

£180 for the six-week block

You will receive a Flourish CPD certificate at the end of the course.

These groups fill up quickly so do let us know if you’d like your name to be added to our waiting list.
