Upcoming Events in 2012
ACCS will
be conducting the following courses in 2012, .
a) ACCS Counselling Refresher Course
Counseling can be
defined as “A helping relationship between a counselor and a client in which
the trusting relationship and the skills of the counselor help the client to
understand his/her problems better and decide how best to solve those issues.”
The counseling profession is based upon a helping relationship. The counselor
takes on the role of a helper. He or she tries to help one or more people, by
providing a listening ear, with empathy and trust, walking the client through
difficult times in their lives
So, where does one begin ? This talk will immediately enable us to put into
practice some basic counseling skills and allow us to better connect with the
people around us.

b) Specialised Counselling Training
c) Intensive Counselling Course

We need to put up the counselling courses to be run for 2007 on our website for the Christian public. This is a good way to promote the cause of Christian counselling as well as to recruit members. We will make available the counselling services of our qualified members to the public but fees but has to be capped at $50 per hour. As such, we would have to post the names of all our members on the website under the membership page.
