Applied Counselling Intensive course

 The Applied Counselling Intensive course is an affiliation of the Higher School for Professional Counselling, Philosophical Counselling and Nontherapy, of which it shares the method and the organisation. The shorter course is thought for who, already in a mature research or professional path, needs to streighten up his/her competence in order to complete his/her curriculum. The course gives the possibility to work in close contact with world known academicians and with extraordinary thinkers: starting with Selene Calloni Williams, yogin, writer, documentarist; the psycanalist and philosopher James Hillman; the theologist Raimon Panikkar; Stefano Piano, indology professor at Turin; Giangiorgio Pasqualotto, aesthetics professor at Padua; Carlo Sini, theoretical philosophy professor at the State University of Milan; the musician Phil Drummy and Maurizio Ferraris, theoretical philosophy professor at Turin.

The instruments utilised are non invasive, because they are of a philosophical, dialogic and energetic nature, rather than of a therapeutic one. The core is the symbolic-imaginal method, that is characterised by a system of sintonies for the sane, already strong and committed to be himself and to emerge person.

Students of the Intensive Course must attend primarily seminars of a practical nature in order to acquire a good knowledge of the opreative techniques. This is why we define the course as “Applied Intensive Counselling Course”.

The semester-long course is completed with the attendance to six weekend seminars. It is possible to attend only a day per seminar: by doing this, students are only required to reach a 12 day attendence in total (after an agreement with the Didactic Direction).

One can start the Intensive Course at any time of the year, arranging an ad hoc study plan with the direction.

At the end of each trimester a certificate of attendance is issued, at the end of the semester a diploma – recognised by AISCON – with the qualification of Counsellor is granted.

Learning methodology

Learning activities comprehend: 90 in-class hours, individual sessions with a tutor, individual researches, traineeship in a firm, organisation or body (optional and depending on the selected study plan).

Traineeship

Those who are interested in developing a professional traineeship at the end of the course can demand it to the Direction during their course.

Individual Sessions:

The opportunity to include within the training path individual sessions and their lenght will be evaluated at the time of enrollment by the Didactic Direction and planned according to the student’s preferences and needs. As a general line, the Direction of the School strongly recommends everyone to attend both the in-class part and an individual one, for the fact that the one-to-one sessions represent a moment of personal growth and evolution that will certainly reinforce the counsellor’s specific skills.

Venues

Seminars are held primarily in Milan at the Humanitarian Society, via San Barnaba 48.

Enrollment

Graduated and graduating students or possibly, after an oral interview or the evaluation of the resume of the applicant.
