Introduction to Listening Skills - NEW

How much listening does it take to hear?

That may sound like “how long is a piece of string?” but you’d be surprised at how little we actually hear when people are talking to us….or would you, have you experienced that blank look when pouring out your heart?...... had people finish your sentences for you? 

This short CPD course will help you freshen up your listening skills, and offer an insight in to the internal dialogue that can help, or hinder, in those precious moments of communication that we share with our therapy clients.
