Meet Applied Counselling Skills Graduate, Barry French: Attending Applied Counselling Skills had a dual purpose for me. I found the theory and classroom discussions guided my practical application of counselling skills over time and gave me both confidence and competence in working with offenders and staff. The other element was in choosing to take this course with my wife as a classmate. Not only did we turn our attendance into a date night of sorts, but it gave us the opportunity to grow in understanding and ability together and to practice on the kids (but don’t tell them!).

As I will be retiring soon, we have started planning on how we can actually work together in offering program delivery and counselling/life skills coaching and have found some good potential opportunities.

Being in the company of so many other adult learners was also empowering. After the initial getting to know you phase, we all coalesced into a positive working group which enhanced the learning and made it a lot of fun at the same time. It also helped that our instructors tended to be leaders rather than directors in our learning.
