Dysfunctional Family Counselling

About the Dysfunctional Family Counselling Certificate

Dysfunctional families are families where conflict, misbehaviour, and often child neglect or abuse on the part of individual parents occur continuously and regularly. This course helps you identify dysfunctional behaviours, dealing with the emotional needs behind each misdirected behaviour and how to introduce elements of change to the recovery process.

The course is designed to offer support and insight into working with couples and families by using a variety of tools and techniques for appropriate therapy and counselling.

Who should study this course?

This online course is ideal for any professionals in therapy and counselling, but also psychology students and self-help seekers who want to learn about dysfunctional elements within families and how to address them.

You do not need any prior qualifications, but a strong interest in psychology, counselling and family therapy would be recommended. We only ask for our students to have an interest in the topic and the motivation to complete the coursework.

What happens after the course?

After successfully completing this home learning course on dysfunctional family problems and proven therapy techniques you will have gained practical family counselling skills that could make a difference to children and adults affected by such issues. Equally, you could find additional training with learndirect in complementary courses such as counselling skills, substance misuse awareness and counselling, or drug, solvent & alcohol abuse counselling.
