Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is often seen as a collaborative, problem-solving and educational therapeutic approach.
Its widespread range of advantages and ease of use makes CBT a popular and appropriate training course for para-counsellors and individuals who are involved in some form of counselling or intervention.
Depending on the depth of the content, this course can be carried out across a few days. Starting with the basic theory and understanding its philosophy, individuals will also have the opportunity to practise the necessary skills in applying this mode of therapy on their clients.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Change is a complicated process. There are multiple reasons why some people face difficulties in the process of changing.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is particularly effective in situations where individuals are ambivalent, reluctant, unmotivated to change or uncertain, unconfident about how to do it.
As a form of communication style that empowers others and boosts positive changes, individuals will be trained on the essence and processes of MI, importance of setting collaborative goals, and how to effectively utilise MI tools.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-focused and future-oriented manner of viewing others’ present issues.
Focusing on individuals’ current resources, strengths, and past successes, SFBT aims to elicit confidence in coming up with practical and sustainable solutions that can be implemented readily.
The tools governed by the principles of SFBT are highly adaptable and applicable in various circumstances. This course equips individuals with the practical knowledge and skills in shifting the focus away from what’s not working to what is.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
As the name implies, individuals will learn to practice accepting their present whilst committing to value action to change their future.
Though seemingly contradictory, there is increasing evidence to show that accepting ones current situation can help one simultaneously make positive changes.
Acceptance is learned through Mindfulness and cognitive defusion, whilst Commitment is made through identifying values and behavioural change exercises.
