Refuge Counselling Training
Basic Principles in Counselling Women Experiencing Domestic Violence
Tuesday 15th March (10.00 – 4.30)
Refuge is hosting this training by Dr. Roxane Agnew-Davies (formerly Refuge Head of Women’s Psychological Services) to disseminate our findings while delivering specialist support for women experiencing domestic violence, funded by the Department of Health.
Basic Counselling Training explores issues for women and refuge workers as they enter and develop a working relationship.
Based on our experiences in Psychological Services, the training includes guidelines for domestic violence workers and advocates for developing a powerful relationship through respect, trust, fostering control and setting boundaries.
We will talk about the meaning and application of concepts such as validating experiences, non-judgemental acceptance and empowerment.
Counselling strategies, such as how to structure a meeting, can be applied to all sorts of conversations, including key-work sessions and individual assessment and support.
We will look in particular about risk assessment, safety planning and post-traumatic stress in the context of domestic violence.
Advanced Counselling for Women Experiencing Domestic Violence
Monday 21st March (10.00 – 4.30)
Advanced Counselling is intended for therapists, counsellors or staff with experience addressing mental health issues.
The training course reframes traditional constructs such as depression and anxiety in the context of women’s experiences of domestic violence and offers suggestions based on our research about technical interventions that might best support women to manage the psychological effects of abuse.
