About the Program
At Prerana, we believe that becoming a counsellor is not simply about acquiring techniques; it is about developing the capacity to understand human experience with depth, sensitivity, and clarity.
Counselling training therefore involves the development of the whole person—intellectually, emotionally, and relationally.
This program integrates experiential learning with the powerful framework of Transactional Analysis (TA), a theory of communication, personality and human development.
Participants will learn counselling skills while gaining deeper insight into how people think, feel and relate in their lives and relationships..
