Making it happen – April 2021
Are you starting out or perhaps been working in your practise for some time but its not going the way you thought? This course is for Spiritual Directors, Coaches, Holistic Practitioners, Psychotherapists and Counsellors. Ask yourself how clear is your professional vision? Feel overwhelmed by all the regulations and requirements to practise? When people ask what do you do – do you trip over explaining what it is exactly?
This course is open to anyone intent on building a spiritually-based practise. This 4-week course will assist with these issues and help you create a vision and set attainable goals . You will learn when you are counselling someone and when it is the Controlled Act of Psychotherapy. The impact you bring to your work and the outcomes achieved with your clients. With a combined 60 years of Mind, Body and Spiritual Health Practices and as Educators, Gord and Alexia have a few trade tips to get you up and running with a clear vision and within the scope of the law.
