This module aims to consolidate learning from previous modules and encourages your continuing self-awareness and reflexivity in your casework.
You will also have the opportunity to discuss and receive peer feedback on your counselling work. Where appropriate to the cases presented, this will include reflection on OPT working.
You will explore the range of pathology and mental wellbeing you may see in your clients, ending therapeutic relationships, counsellor response to diversity in clients and professionalism in private practice.
You will also practise and be assessed in PC-1-10 with a focus on PC10, the extent to which the therapist projects a sense of dominance or authority in the session with the client.
The module revisits the impact of the different ways therapy can be facilitated remotely, alongside the associated technology.
This module also aims to introduce you to both research methods and some key client issues. Students will have input on research methodology regarding searching for literature relevant to specific client issues. There will be a mixture of tutor and student presentations on the range of client issues.
