Description:

The course "Basics of counseling" is focused on the theoretical and practical part based on theoretical concepts of counseling and skills of counseling interviews and counseling processes as well as improving communication skills and techniques needed for counseling. The content of the case is based on an approach called "person-centered counseling" developed by Carl Rogers. The content of this approach to counseling is based on focusing on the positive capacities of people in counseling and their personal strength to face the current problem and gain self-confidence and skills to solve future problems. In this context, the subject "Basics of Counseling" is based on learning the method of counseling and its concrete application whereby the person in counseling is empowered to understand specific difficulties in relationships (with self and others) and their setbacks and possible options for solving these problems. During this course, students are introduced to the necessary competencies that the counselor as an expert needs to master in order to be able to competently carry out the counseling process (five phases). During the workshops, students practice conducting a counseling interview in small groups.
