The Skilled Helper Training Course (with Gerard Egan Ph.D.)

Gerard Egan's Skilled Helper Model of counselling provides a structured and solution focused foundation for counsellors, parents, coaches and management teams. It is a three-stage model that consists of the skills that a Skilled Helper can use to assist their client in making progress.

The Skilled Helper approach supports learners to become effective interpreters of life, giving accurate meanings to the events of their life, facing and overcoming challenges, exploring problematical issues, investigating new opportunities and setting stimulating goals.

Simply put, achievement usually comes when human beings become engaged in initiating new positive behaviours (and habits) in their lives, and become skilled in achieving practical problem-solving strategies.

The Gerard Egan Skilled Helper Model rests among the most popular and effective models of counselling skills, leadership and coaching. The material in this training course is taught at many universities and used in many (formal and informal) counselling settings, including the workplace and public-serving organizations.

This model provides you with a framework for navigating a counselling or helping session, or a series of sessions, and allows you to improve your skills at interacting with people in either a social or a professional setting.

In this unique Skilled Helper Training Course, Gerard Egan (author of 1-Million copy internationally bestselling book, The Skilled Helper) draws from over 45 years of experience, beside Kain Ramsay, to teach you an innovative framework for practical problem solving and skilled helping.
