 Learning objectives                   How do concepts of empowerment apply to counseling? How do we communicate
                                       across cultures? Why is it necessary to develop culturally sensitive counseling
                                       approaches? What are the specific skills required for good counseling?


 Contents                              This study unit develops a student’s competence in building an empowering relationship
                                       with a client. S/he gains client-centred counselling skills and consultation methods. This
                                       is based on an active understanding of interpersonal and intercultural communication
                                       and interviewing strategies as well as the promotion of a more anti-oppressive and
                                       egalitarian counseling approach.
