Overview

At the heart of mindfulness is self-awareness – the ability to be present in the moment and fully aware of our emotions, thoughts and surroundings. Practising mindfulness techniques can therefore help reduce anxiety, increase focus and improve mental well-being. An online mindfulness course is a great way to learn these skills in a supportive learning environment.

During this comprehensive online mindfulness course, you'll discover the fascinating history of the discipline, including how it was introduced to the Western world. You'll explore techniques and mindfulness practices such as meditation, visualisation and breathing exercises. You'll also discover ways to help people observe their thoughts and feelings, and learn how actions and emotions are intertwined.

What you'll learn

Unit 1 - An Introduction to Mindfulness

The first unit introduces the concept of mindfulness: its origins and history, what it is, what it does, and how it can help people. You’ll look at how the mind and body are connected and how the brain is affected by positive psychology.

Unit 2 - Mindfulness Techniques

In the second unit, you’ll take a look at some of the most popular and effective mindfulness exercises, such as the ‘raisin exercise’, the ‘body scan’, mindful seeing, mindful listening, and more. You’ll also get a quick introduction to dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).

Unit 3 - Mindfulness and Mental Health

In this unit we explore levels of consciousness; the conscious mind, our subconscious mind, and our unconscious mind. You’ll study the cycle of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and how they interact with one another. You’ll also take a brief look at psychological triggers.

Unit 4 - Setting Up a Business - Mindfulness and Leadership

Mindful leadership offers a range of tools to the business world to help managers become more effective, productive, self-aware, and all-round better leaders in their workplace, and in this unit, you’ll take a brief look at how.

Unit 5 - Mindfulness based CBT for stress management

Whether or not an individual feels stress is all down to their thinking or perception of events, and clients can learn how avoid it by managing their own thoughts and feelings more effectively. In unit nine, you’ll look at the ABC model, the ‘sorting boxes’ technique, as well as other exercises to alleviate feelings of stress and anger.

Should I train as a counsellor?

Individuals of any age can benefit from counselling courses and it’s important to note that counselling, when experiencing grief, abuse, anger and problems building and maintaining relationships can have a positive impact.

This makes it absolutely critical that the counselling sector ensures it is well staffed with empathetic, conscientious and skilled professionals who will diligently work to help individuals manage their emotional welfare.

If this sounds like you, training to counsel individuals, couples or groups could be the start of an incredibly inspiring career. A skilled counsellor can become a truly vital support for vulnerable people, enabling them to work through trauma and past issues, making this profession as rewarding as it is valued.

How does counselling benefit children?

One in ten children experience mental illness, and, according to the same report from Mind, the recent pandemic lockdown has led to 68% of young people experiencing lowered mental health.

Counselling can be extremely useful for children and young people, particularly those who don’t have access to a support network at home or feel they cannot talk to their parents about problems they may be facing.

How does counselling benefit adults?

According to the NHS, one in four adults experience mental illness; and the pandemic has worsened things. The mental health charity, Mind, released insight in Feb 2022 stating that “A million UK adults who had problems with their mental health for the first time during the pandemic have not spoken to anyone about it”

A career in counselling adults can see you touching upon topics surrounding the workplace, infertility, past trauma or even addiction. Older adults with very little family or friends can also benefit from counselling to help them better cope with feelings of loneliness or even worthlessness which is unfortunately common amongst older generations.
