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 this year: 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 two more next year.
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?
These are open to anyone who has already done - or is doing - a COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate and/or anyone currently on 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 the two groups at different venues across Edinburgh.
Tuesday at Tollcross from 14 January
Wednesday at Eskmills, Musselburgh from 15 January
Cost?
£180 for the six-week block
You will receive a Flourish CPD certificate at the end of the course.
