'Know Yourself! + Co-Counselling': 2 weekends to remember!

In 1992, this course completely changed my life...

It had a big impact on how I viewed myself, and how I held back from relating authentically with the world. What I got most from that course was a sense of freedom to be myself – I felt I had permission to explore inside myself without being disapproved of if I found something unpleasant.

I eventually learned to give expression to the joy inside me, as well as explore the more difficult and sometimes hidden sides: anger, shame, grief. I learned that it’s OK to cry, to sing, to dance, to yawn, to celebrate, to be quiet, to NOT know.

This in turn helped me reach out to the world and grasp life, instead of waiting in my comfort zone.

Unlock your potential! ... Be more authentic!
The aim of this course is to help you raise self-confidence, self-esteem and your ability to grasp life fully, helping you live autonomously, creatively and in touch with your emotions. Co-counselling challenges the view that some feelings are taboo and that you should not have them. It can help you come to terms with your past and your present, so that difficult feelings have less of a grip on you.

Two weekends to change your life!

This powerful course is an integrated and therapeutic experience in its own right: even if you decide not to do any co-counselling after the course, the three days will give you a space to experience and learn about yourself within a therapeutic and supportive group setting.

Co-counselling draws from

• Gestalt Therapy

• Psychodrama

• Psychodynamic therapy

• NLP

• Coaching approaches.

• Process oriented psychology (POP),

A wider network

After the course... you may choose to use co-counselling skills with a co-counselling partner or in a group. Successful completion of the course gives you the option of accessing the CCI (Co-Counselling International) network and its workshops: for over 40 years CCI residential workshops have provided its participants with a unique and liberating space to grow, play, interact and to face themselves.

CCI personal growth is:

• Self-directed - you decide!

• Peer-to-peer

• 40 years old

• Fun

• Free (once you're done the course)

CCI Co-counselling is:

• Not like 'normal counselling'

• Not aimed at counsellors - it's for anyone

• Respectful of each individual’s wishes: everything is optional – no one pushes you into anything you don’t want to do

Testimonials

‘You were an easy going facilitator that enabled me to feel at ease throughout the training. Your sense of humor allowed me to bring clarity and focus to the issues I found most challenging. For this I am most grateful.’

• C.C., Leeds, 2007
  Know Yourself! CCI Co-Counselling Training

’Fantastic end to our Co-Counselling Training with Richard Mills and eight other lovely trainees in Leeds at the weekend. I had my reservations beforehand but with practice and the guidance of Richard, and the support and sharing of my fellow co-counselling beginners, I experienced wonderful soul-touching moments. Thanks again Richard.

‘Martin Davies, Leeds, 2012
Know Yourself! CCI Co-Counselling Training

‘I soon start my new role with my existing employer which has gone through a process of reorganisation. I’m now thinking of the positives of what the my new role can bring to me rather think that I’m being coerced into a job that I didn’t apply for. I have started to think differently. I feel certain that the new found relief of change has been greatly helped by undertaking co-counselling training.’

– Lorrie Leeds, 2015
Know Yourself! CCI Co-Counselling Training

'Completing the Know Yourself! CCI course over the past few weeks has significantly improved my self-confidence. Richard Mills delivered ’easy to digest’ training to the group with a combination of vitality and calmness.'

• Sarah, Leeds, 2012

'Richard did invite us to deal with painful memories, but he also had us laughing and celebrating what’s good about ourselves. So I dealt with painful memories from a more positive, resourceful position. Richard’s own sense of humour and enthusiasm provides an environment which makes this all the easier.’
– Tracy Shippey, York, 2009
Know Yourself! CCI Core Training

“I have worked with Richard in a variety of workshops and groups over the last ten years and have been consistently impressed by his evident commitment to his own ongoing growth and development. I appreciate his integrity and clarity of communication as well as the energy and generosity with which he facilitates workshops and groups. As a client, I have welcomed his blend of support and challenge as an effective catalyst for my growth. I have especially valued his continued invitations, both spoken and implicit, to be and become more fully myself.”
Dom Hooper, 2009
