Come experience a little taste of our part-time programmes here in LIT-Tipperary. Each workshop will give you an overview of a particular course and what to expect when you begin your studies with us. You will also meet a past graduate who will share their experience on the programme.
1. Certificate in Adlerian Psychology and Counselling Skills
This course is aimed at anyone who is interacting with people and who wishes to improve their communication/counselling skills and how they relate to people. The Adlerian approach to working with people believes in the possibility of change, and that what we need to make these changes in our lives is courage. We look at our past, in order to understand our present and move towards a more desired future. This taster workshop will explore some of Adler’s practical psychology and applications for your life.
2. Certificate in Jungian Psychology with Art Therapy
This course mixes experiential with the theoretical in a venture that combines Jungian Psychology with Art Therapy. By using methods such as art-making, journaling and dream interpretation we engage creatively with psyche in a journey that promises to be both fascinating and educational. This introductory workshop explores the symbolic language of images in the context of life changes.
