Curiosity is a cornerstone of counselling and good questions lie at its heart. It takes a combination of skill and artistry to ask a good question in a counselling setting – they do not simply happen by accident. This webinar will explore the what, where, when, and why of questions, as well as what commonly gets in the way of asking good questions. Participants will learn how to develop quality, high-yield questions that move away from problems and toward solutions.
