Outline
The course incorporates a theoretical module (i.e. counselling theories relevant to the descriptor), professional framework module (e.g. ethical practice), group training supervision, counselling skills practice and an ongoing process group. The structure of the course also involve full day Saturdays. Trainees need to secure a supervised client work experience (i.e. placement). Trainees are also expected to complete 20 hours of personal therapy during the life of this course.
Trainees will learn to work with more implicit patterns of relating, working at relational depth and will increasingly become clear on the types of clients and settings they can work with. This counselling programme provides a balance of theoretical input, practical and experiential learning, understanding of professional context for counselling work, and focuses on counselling as a contracted professional relationship as opposed to using counselling skills. The evidence based portfolio system of assessment is encouraging trainees to know their capabilities and limitations, and is in line with the increasing demand for evidence of competence within the mental health field.
