Mode of Training

Mode of training

The CCC course is practice-oriented and skills-based, with emphasis on growing the person of the counselor plus the practical application of the Satir Brief Therapy Model in couple counseling.  It is for both lay & professional counselors who would like to venture into couple counseling or are already seeing couples as part of their work. 

Warren will utilize interactive lecturettes, small group discussions, structured exercises,  demo (live demo sessions with clients as well as participants), experiential learning and skills practice sessions as well as sharing video tape presentations of his sessions with couples during class as part of the training. 

Warren who is also the clinical supervisor for the course will supervise participants throughout the 15 months duration of the course in the application of the Satir Model of Brief Therapy with couples in the local context.  Participants are required to attend a total of 15 days (3 days x 5 times) of intensive (7 hours) day long classroom training during the 15 months course (participants who have previously attended Warren’s Cert. in Satir training courses or an approved Satir courses of a minimum duration of 12 days or 84 hours are exempted from the first 3 day Intensive class and will start from the 2^nd Intensive class in June).

Each Intensive class will be for 3 full days (9:30am-5:30pm), once every 3 months on average. Except for scheduled breaks, clinical supervision for participants will be scheduled throughout the 15 month duration of the course (once in 4-6 weeks) to maximize skills application in couple counseling.
