Introduction to the Integrative Perinatal Counselling Model
Introduction to the Integrative Perinatal Counselling Model
Perinatal Counselling is a distinct field that remains undeveloped and requires specialist training and knowledge. We are delighted to present this introductory course in Perinatal Counselling for accredited and pre-accredited counsellors and psychotherapists who would like to inform their practice with evidence based approaches and are seeking to get a head start on specialising in the field of Perinatal Counselling.
Integrative Perinatal Counselling is an evidence based approach developed at the School of Medicine, University College Dublin. This course introduces the model using experiential learning techniques. This interactive course uses real life case studies to demonstrate foundational hands-on approaches, techniques and skills of therapeutically engaging with clients/ patients going through the perinatal period. Skills and expertise demonstrated in this course are not restricted to counseling setting but are transferable and applicable to most health and allied health care settings.
The course will focus on the following areas:
• Introduction to the field of Perinatal counselling
• Integrating the model into your own practice (not restricted to counselling settings)
• From assessment to referral pathways – Discussion on Case studies
