About Me

Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom
I provide courses and workshops for individuals and organisations in Emotional Intelligence and Active Listening Skills. I also offer Introductory level courses in Counselling Skills and Theory, which are approved by UEA for further study at Certificate level. (I was Course Director of the Certificate programme at UEA for 11 years). I think that learning how to listen to someone in a way that communicates respect and understanding is a vital part of living in relationships (whether at work or home). The courses that I run will give you the opportunity to learn how to listen in this way. I am also involved in WriteOutLoud, which delivers workshops that use creative life writing skills to bring groups of individuals together. Everyone has an amazing story and we provide the environment where they find their voice. I have two children, am a parent governor and also a member of the Board of Directors for CME Ltd (providing opportunity through music and media).

Counselling Theory course starts on 24th November

Counselling Theory is about exploring the ideas and work of Carl Rogers, who pioneered the person centred approach. This course will give you first hand experience of learning and working in a person-centred environment and provide opportunities for personal development and increased self-awareness. Through exploring his theory behind the concept of personality, and using you own personal experience as a resource, you will learn a great deal about yourself and about how you respond to others. There will be a lot of groupwork and an encounter group day.
Cost: £190 (£40 of which is a non-refundable deposit)
Venue: St Luke's Church Hall, 61 Aylsham Road, Norwich, NR3 2HF

Starting 24th November 2009
Tuesdays: November 24; December 1, 8 (10.00-14.00)
Saturday: December 12 (10.00-17.00)
Tuesday: December 15 (10.00-14.00)

Feedback from past students:
I felt I belonged when I was here.

Encounter Day was exhausting but exhilarating at the same time.

I felt the group was safe environment to explore myself and challenge my perceptions of others.

Great variety of exercises to keep me thinking - never boring! Impressed with Andrea's knowledge of theory and her ability to convey it to others.

Andrea is an effective, inspirational course leader and I would encourage anybody to take one of her courses simply for the experience itself.
