Why 'Accidental Counsellor' based Training?
We help teams by equipping them with the skills and confidence to respond to distressed colleagues or vulnerable customers, in a way that is ethical and empathic whilst always being within clearly defined boundaries.
Our training enables participants to reduce the impact of vicarious trauma and recognize the importance of self-care.
All our workshops are tailored to the needs of your organisation, your industry and any relevant code of practice.
How is our training delivered?
We are excited to be able to offer in-person workshops again. Cutty will come to you to deliver the training to your teams at a location of your choice. Safety is important to us, so we ask that all face-to-face workshops comply with any current COVID-19 regulations.
Alternatively, and for organisations wishing to bring this training to staff across different locations, Accidental Counsellor Pty Ltd is able to offer you effective, remotely delivered, live training. Cutty has developed a virtual training concept that retains the integrity of delivery and duty of care for which she is known. We deliver our virtual training from our purpose-built virtual training room via ZOOM, TEAMS or other suitable remote platform. Please note, all virtual training attendees will need access to their individual PC/laptop with Internet access, webcam and audio capabilities.
