Finally had completed my 5 days training course to be a Para-counsellor. It sure was an interesting 5 days spent at the SAF Counselling Center. The 5 days does deepen my understanding of what counselling is all about, the framework behind counselling and also the practical skills to doing counselling.

Perhaps the part where I enjoyed most was the role-playing part. Thats where the rapport among the respective groups were built up. From being the individualistic person, we start to warm up to each other and start talking and laughing at each other during the role-play.

Through the 5 days course, it had helped me to realise the important role counsellors have to play in today’s society. Perhaps that had given me a better insight of counselling work and in helping me drive my passion to this field.

Now that I am equipped with these new skills. I will have to put it to good use and contribute to people who needs the help.
