Routes B & C: Bereavement Counselling Diploma

'A must for health workers, social workers, police and many others who are working in the field of Loss and Grief'

Over the last nine years the Diploma course has been run in several venues in the North and South of England and in Jersey.

The Diploma can be run anywhere provided there is suitable accommodation and 10-12 students with secured funding for the course. If you could offer a venue please contact Ian Woodroffe.

The diploma course builds on basic counselling skills to increase confidence and competence in counselling bereaved people and gives participants a thorough understanding of the grief process.

The course has a credit rating of 30 credits at level two and 30 credits at level three by Greenwich University and runs for eleven weekends or eleven sets of two midweek days over the calendar year. Participants are expected to have completed at least a foundation course in counselling before applying.

A large part of the course involves experiential learning using video training. Initially students will counsel each other in a dedicated room, with a video link through to other students.

In the second part of the course you may have the unique opportunity to work with bereaved clients as part of your assessment.

You will learn in a small group (there is a maximum number of 12 places per course) with well qualified tutors. The course director, Ian Woodroffe is a BACP accredited counsellor and supervisor with over 25 years experience in care of the dying, bereavement and the transmission of trauma.
