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.

Missed the sale (40% off) but was called and they honoured it!

I saw by chance they had a 40% off flash sale (2.5 hours only) and tried to pay, but my banking app failed and the window of opportunity closed, meaning it went back to the full price. I got a call shortly afterwards from a lady called Holly who not only talked me through the purchase, but also honoured the original 40% discount which is amazing. She was lovely to talk to and very patient especially when my app froze again ;)

I had a great experience enrolling…

I had a great experience enrolling thanks to Solomon Watson. He was so patient and he made it easy to get through the enrolment, he also broke it down for me so I could have a better understanding. We spoke via phone call and he made me feel welcome which made me want to join even more as it was all good vibes.

The adviser was helpful & professional & put me at ease.

The lady i spoke with, was called Courtney, she was very pleasant & really helped with my decision on moving forward in starting my Grade 3 in Dog Grooming, she talked me through the payments, & my commitments, there was nothing I didn't understand. She put me at ease, as I find most things overwhelming.
