Accidental Counsellor Workshop (FREE)

The Accidental Counsellor Workshop is a practical training program designed to equip individuals who find themselves supporting individuals in distress. The workshop teaches participants how to recognise when someone is in distress, respond with empathy and confidence, and refer them to appropriate professional support. Through interactive discussions, participants develop the ability to remain calm, listen effectively, and provide immediate, compassionate assistance - without taking on the role of a professional counsellor.
