Refocussing counselling introduction – Who for?

This course is for those who want to learn to use Refocussing as  counselling theory and practice in their pastoral care, psychotherapeutic, counselling practice.

The course is suitable for those who are counsellors working in: social work, mental health, pastoral counsellors, therapists, school counsellors, chaplains, Hospice workers , or those who are researching counselling for themselves and want to learn more about a Christian counselling theory.

What:

The course is highly interactive with participants having opportunity to use many of the psycho-educational activities and exercises that Dr Divett has designed in order to allow opportunity for personal growth and development.

As well the course provides many demonstrations modelled to show how the therapy is actually conducted.

The theory details how Refocussing is based on Dr Divett’s notion that ‘Wholeness ‘ is the goal of Refocussing (RF & RFT), Moreover,  to achieve this’wholistic’ focus (spelt this way intentionally), she has designed  a ‘seven foci integrative system’, which not only integrates psychological and theological theories but it is also provides a way, focus on those ‘unmet needs’ that arise (mainly from the past) in all dimensions. This includes: the transpersonal (spiritual); the interpersonal (family,and work, social/friends, recreation and leisure,); and interpersonal (intellectual, physical, emotional and moral) is achieved. However, the point is that such focus on those ‘unmet needs’, which are likely to be causing ’problems’  is only encouraged because the intention or aim is to then  ’Refocus’ to find solutions. But specifically in Refocussing, such “refocus’ is achieved   by using  ’Godspaces’ , which is central to the theory and practice’ so that connecting to God’s empowering presence is achieved in a way predictable, reliable and repeatable (the hallmarks of a scientific theory which can be measured!). By Refocussing in this way activates an encounter with God bringing healing, resources, and resolution for the unmet needs.
