Overview
The knowledge and skills acquired in this course are designed to address areas of competence required for registration as a counsellor, and will be relevant to similar standards in most allied health disciplines. Effective practice in the helping professions relies on a strong foundation in the core skills of counselling methods and processes as well as on both personal and professional self-exploration, reflective practice, and ongoing professional development. The course is one of the core courses in the counselling stream and informs and links with others in the counselling stream. It also underpins the learning outcomes for the various specialisations and advanced degrees in this stream.
This course provides students with a thorough understanding of counselling processes and practices. It includes a specific focus on practical skills, based on counselling theory. Students will also develop their ability to plan, structure, and manage a counselling session, including attention to ethical and contextual issues affecting the client and therapeutic process. Because there is a concomitant focus on the nexus between the therapist as a person and a professional, the course also emphasises introspection, reflective practice, and professional learning and growth.
This course contains a mandatory four-day residential school and 10 hours of mandatory online synchronous workshops.
