Counselling Skills training workshop - January 2023



January 21, 2023 marked the end of a four-day training program by East West Center for Counselling and training for Nirangal and their collaborators. We had 12 participants. The training focused on creating a cohesive group environment and a safe space for our future counsellors among the LBBTQI+ community.


The training covered many of the basic concepts of counselling, from counselor skills and relationship building between the client and counsellor, to developing a good counseling atmosphere. Our aim was to provide the participants with the knowledge and experience they need to become successful counsellors.

The collaboration between Nirangal and East West Center for Counselling is an ongoing relationship and this training is just one of many that have been put on in the past. The training was a great success and the participants left with a better understanding of the counselling process and a stronger commitment to the profession.

Counselling is an important part of mental health care and having well-trained professionals is essential to providing quality, compassionate care particularly among the LGBTQI+ community. We are proud of the work we did with Nirangal.
