THE Lyttelton Well in Malvern is to run a third listening course in April, designed to help people communicate more effectively and connect more easily.

It is aimed at people working in the voluntary sector and any members of the public who feel they could benefit.

Course tutor Frances Anderson said: "We live in a busy world. Sometimes we don’t take the time to listen properly and connect with people but if you learn to listen you make the other person feel valued and accepted and find out what is really going on in their lives."

The April course runs from 10am to 12.30pm, starting on Tuesday, April 23, and lasting for ten weeks. The course will cover topics like developing empathy, accepting others, and giving and receiving feedback.

The course costs £125. Anyone interested in finding out more can go contact thewellcounselling.co.uk or info@thewellcounselling.co.uk.
