CONSULTATION SKILLS with EILISH KELLY
An Accredited Aura-Soma Colour-Care-System© Consultation Skills Course. This is a renewal course and also meets the 36 hour level 4 requirement for Consultation Skills
I have worked for many years (in different contexts), lecturing, teaching, training and facilitating individuals and groups to develop communication skills which involve knowledge, intuition and creativity. I have also worked in private consultation practice as a Dream Analyst/Art Therapist for more than 15 years and Aura-Soma Practitioner for almost 10. As well as working with individuals, I work with groups of all kinds, some disadvantaged, using Equillibrium. I also teach all levels of the ASIACT training and have an approved Renewal course in Exploring and Creating our Personal Myths through Colour and Symbols.
I strive to be egalitarian so I find it gives me great satisfaction to share my experience, skills and know-how with students and to see them confidently progress from dependence through independence to interdependence. In addition this kind of work keeps me on my toes and in touch with current events in the worlds of colour and of consultation.
THE COURSE INCLUDES:
Lectures
Creative Experiential Exercises
Practical Consultations
Peer Work
Working with Clients
Placement
Research
Assignments
Evaluation
The course is of 36 hours duration, spread over 6 months, on one saturday a month.. It can also be delivered over 2 weekend modules. Please note: Students can attend on a modular basis ie they can pick and choose what modules they want to attend and when, taking as much time as they like to complete the course. In these cases a cost per session will be agreed.
Each session builds on the skills of the previous sessions. A workbook, handouts, evaluation sheets and photocopies of relevant articles are available.
The course applies, as a norm, the underlying consultation principles within the Aura-Soma Colour-Care-System©. It also acknowledges key influences in contemporary soul therapy, psychotherapy, counselling, group analysis etc such as the work of Jung, Rogers, Stone, Buddha, Tao etc while keeping the focus on “person-centered” consultations.
The breaks between sessions are intended to permit time for study; allow participants to integrate information; apply what is being learned in practice (with at least one voluntary client for the duration of the course); work with peers; bring issues back to the sessions for examination; and allow participants to begin to build a practice by trying to have a placement in a holistic or other suitable centre if possible.
Extract from a Review by Olive Daly
I found the Consultation Skills Course very helpful in many ways. Part of the course involved finding a placement in a Counselling or Holistic Centre which would then refer clients. The course helped me to: Focus on the client and myself; Question; Relax and trust my intuition; Centre; Listen; Allow the client to tell their story, break down blind spots, see the bigger picture and seek the unexplored opportunities. In doing this I have also expanded my knowledge around the Equilibrium bottles. My own skills and life developed during the course. It opened up my Aura-Soma life. I have gained more confidence in offering Aura – Soma. The course gave me a platform to launch myself from. I found the Consultation Skills course deep, informative, transformative, practical and down to earth.
Cost: The cost is 500.00eu
Availability: The course is available in Dublin and, by arrangement, in other parts of the country. Outside Ireland it is available over 2 modules of 3 days each, with the modules separated by a number of months.

Review by Siobhan Overson
I had heard of Mary’s Presenters Course with great recommendation from quite a few people I had met on the Level Three training, so I decided to do it in March of this year. The course was three days long and took place in Paula Herbert’s beautiful blue room in Rathmichael.
The course content itself was absolutely amazing, I don’t think I ever took in so much information in one weekend so I found the whole course extremely stimulating and motivating. Mary Varilly, our course presenter, was so generous with her time and knowledge and her sense of humour that the course was a joy to participate in. Mary lifted us up from our inertia of gently reading each other’s bottles to becoming self-assured Aura-Soma practitioners. She encouraged us to stand up and talk about ourselves, where our Aura-Soma journey had taken us and how to deliver that to an audience.
As well as that she furnished us with wonderful ideas for promotion of us as Aura-Soma practitioners – leaflets, business cards, places to practice Aura-Soma in the community and how to deliver our knowledge in a confident manner.Mary’s background as a teacher was very evident and I was enthralled by her bottomless well of information! Mary was willing to answer any question thrown at her and usually answered it in a very amusing way relating to her own experiences!
She also gave us a taste of the Sea and Butterfly Essences, which whetted my appetite to do that course in the future.
All in all the Presenters Course was a magnificent and intensive course, I came away exhausted but exhilarated with my new-found confidence and motivation to be the Aura-Soma practitioner I truly want to put into practice.
