LIVE Practice Sessions
One of the defining features of our Elderly Counselling Course is the opportunity for every student to participate in regular LIVE practice counselling sessions throughout the duration of the online training program. While theory provides the foundation of professional competence, it is real counselling practice that develops confidence, clinical judgment, communication skills, and therapeutic presence.
Elderly Counselling is not a profession that can be mastered through reading alone. Understanding ageing, grief, cognitive changes, family dynamics, loneliness, depression, or chronic illness is important, but applying that knowledge in a real conversation with an elderly client requires an entirely different level of skill. It demands empathy, active listening, careful questioning, emotional regulation, ethical awareness, and the ability to respond appropriately in real time.
This is precisely why our course places such a strong emphasis on supervised LIVE practice. Throughout the course, every student participates in 1 to 2 LIVE counselling practice sessions each month, providing multiple opportunities to steadily build competence under the guidance of experienced course directors.
What Is Elderly Counselling
Elderly counseling, also known as geriatric counseling or gerontological counseling, is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on addressing the unique psychological, emotional, and social needs of older adults.
It involves providing support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions to enhance the mental well-being and quality of life for older individuals.
As we age, they may encounter a range of challenges and transitions that can impact their emotional and psychological well-being.
These may include coping with physical health changes, adjusting to retirement, experiencing loss or bereavement, dealing with chronic illness, managing caregiver stress, or facing existential concerns related to aging and mortality.
Elderly counseling helps older adults navigate these challenges and promote their emotional resilience and overall mental health.
One of the key goals of elderly counseling is to provide a safe and supportive space for older individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns.
The counseling process involves active listening, empathy, and understanding to establish a therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect.
Through this therapeutic alliance, elderly counselors assist older adults in exploring and understanding their emotions, identifying coping strategies, and developing resilience to effectively deal with the unique stressors they may encounter.

Learn Elderly Counselling by Actually Counselling
Many counselling courses rely heavily on notes, lectures, recorded demonstrations, written assignments, or case studies. While these methods certainly have educational value, they cannot replicate the experience of sitting with a client, listening carefully, managing silence, responding to emotion, and helping another human being navigate life's challenges.
Our LIVE practice sessions bridge the gap between theory and professional practice. Knowing all the theory is great but without actually counselling an elderly person for real, you will not really know where you stand.
During each LIVE practice session, the student assumes the role of an Elderly Counsellor, while another participant or designated individual plays the role of an elderly client presenting a realistic counselling concern. These simulated sessions are designed to closely resemble genuine counselling encounters and cover a broad range of situations commonly encountered when working with older adults.
Each session typically lasts 45 to 55 minutes, closely reflecting the duration of a standard professional counselling session. This allows students to experience the complete counselling process - from building rapport and understanding the client's concerns to exploring emotions, identifying goals, and appropriately bringing the session to a close.
Rather than practicing isolated counselling techniques, students experience the flow of an entire therapeutic conversation.

Comprehensive Feedback After LIVE Sessions
Perhaps the greatest educational value comes after the LIVE practice session has concluded. Each counselling session is carefully reviewed, and a written script (transcript) of the interaction is subsequently posted on the course forum.
This invaluable transcript allows students to revisit every stage of the counselling conversation with fresh perspective. Reading the session after it has taken place often reveals important details that may have gone unnoticed during the live interaction.
Alongside the transcript, the Course Directors (including Savio DSilva) provide detailed feedback and analysis. Rather than simply identifying what was right or wrong, the feedback examines the counselling process in depth.
This prompt and detailed analysis transforms every practice session into an exceptionally rich learning experience. Students do not simply receive a performance score, they gain insight into why certain counselling responses were effective and how alternative approaches may have produced different therapeutic outcomes.
Learning Beyond Individual LIVE Sessions
One of the unique advantages of our programme is that learning extends well beyond an individual student's own practice sessions.
Because the transcripts and analyses are shared on the course forum, students also have the opportunity to learn from the counselling sessions conducted by their classmates. Observing different counselling styles broadens clinical understanding. Some students excel at building rapport. While others demonstrate particularly strong reflective listening.
Some ask thoughtful exploratory questions. Others are especially skilled at summarising complex emotional experiences. By studying multiple counselling approaches, students gradually develop their own authentic counselling style. This collaborative learning environment greatly expands the educational value of every LIVE practice session.
Instead of learning only from one or two counselling encounters each month, students benefit from observing many additional sessions throughout the course.

My heartfelt thanks for all of you. I remember all of you in my prayers. Yes we are called to be special for the sake of God in order to reach the ultimate goal. Once again I say thank you one and all. Thank You.
Sr. Lucy ThomasMy aim to join this course was to reach out to maximum number of needy people and help them with their problems related to life. I always look forward to encourage and motivate people to face and brace their lives irrespective of the age groups they belong to. To give a lending ear and a strong shoulder to share and care for their burdens to unload with an aim to cure them of their miseries of any kind.
After joining this course, I have gained vast knowledge on all spheres of life. Therapy though has been the aim of this course I would like to submit that apart from that it teaches you how to work systematically. How to communicate relying only on posts. How to share responsibilities and work to achieve your goals as a team. Meeting deadlines both at short and long time of notice. Adhering to rules and making sure of a disciplined aptitude and attitude towards work.
This sure shows communication indeed is the key to all our problems. Being there for your colleagues and helping them in their hour of need, like many of our friends have set an example on this forum. This course teaches as both leadership qualities and skills both at therapy & communicating. So far a very challenging, enriching and learned experience is what i have had. And looking forward for much more in the months to come. Thank You Savio Sir for all the able guidance.
Regards.
Dr. Neelu KhannaI don't have words to express my gratitude for the difference this online course at Enoma and your guidance has personally made in my life. Kind Regards,
Dr. ShaliniI like listening to people and it gives me immense pleasure when I am able to help them out. I have worked in organizations where I have felt the gap which needs to be filled in by professionals. This course is helping me to be eligible to fill in that gap.
After joining this course, I was first overwhelmed by the amount of material provided to us. The eBooks and other material have been of great use to me to understand this field better. I can relate in a better way with people and their problems, by actually being able to put myself in their shoes to solve their queries.
But most importantly, I have become much more patient while dealing with things in my own life. I can rationalize with people and situations in a better way. This course has also made me learn to accept criticism gracefully, to work in teams, and at times even to work under pressure, without letting the deadlines take a toll on me. I have also improved on my communication skills both verbal and non verbal. And I hope by the time I finish this course, there will be a lot more that I would have learned.
