Profile
Counselling involves engaging and listening to clients about their emotions, relationships, thought processes, patterns of behaviour or life events such as bereavement, addiction, divorce, health issues or job concerns. Counsellors help clients to understand themselves better and find their own solutions to resolve or cope with their situation or issues. Counsellors play a crucial role in improving the health and wellbeing of people in society.
This is a collaborative programme between MTU and Cuan Mhuire/Galilee House of Studies. Cuan Mhuire is Ireland’s ‘largest multisite provider of residential detoxification and treatment for those suffering from addiction’ (www.cuanmhuire.ie). Galilee House of Studies is an established provider of a higher education undergraduate diploma programme in counselling located in Athy, Co. Kildare.
The purpose of this programme is to provide systematic training in counselling theory and practice at a level that prepares participants to counsel in a variety of settings and to use various counselling approaches. Counselling and psychotherapy are growing and evolving professions in Ireland and internationally.
Also, addiction in recent years is becoming an increasing problem in Ireland, with the Government pledging to increase funding in the area of mental health initiatives as part of the national counselling service.
