New Norfolk Christian counselling training
An exciting new opportunity for Christians to enhance their listening and counselling skills is being launched in January 2009 in Norwich. Professional trainers Margaret Bazely and Ruth Dormandy, from the Institute of Pastoral Counselling, using the Marriott training centre in Norwich and the Quiet Waters Retreat Centre near Bungay, will provide an innovative approach to gaining a recognised qualification in counselling skills in combination with personal spiritual development.
The course is being organised by Margaret Bazely, a Senior BACP Accredited Trainer, who provides training across the UK: “I have delivered the AQA intermediate counselling skills certificate course to students in the Church Army College of Evangelism in Sheffield for several years,” explained Margaret. “But this time my colleagues and I will be enabling course members to deepen their own spiritual life alongside learning new skills for the pastoral and spiritual care of others.”
The course, run together with the Chaplaincy department of the Norfolk & Waveney Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, also pioneers a training partnership between the churches and the NHS in this region.
Further details of the course, which includes a free Introductory Taster Session on October 11, 2008, can be obtained by calling Bill Bazely on 01603 421203 or e-mailing him, billbazely@aol.com
