CN906.512 Reflective Counselling Practice on an Innovative Theorist/Practitioner
CN907.512 Counselling Research Project
On successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to:
Initiate the process of an action - reflection cycle and analyse the systemic impacts of planned interventions.
Explore community counselling issues in an inclusive, collaborative and ethical manner with an awareness of their own personal frameworks and assumptions as well as those of others in a group setting
Justify their own modes of action and underlying logic in the interpersonal interaction in their usual community counselling role.
Integrate theoretical frameworks from coursework and research into their present practice of intentional interventions.
The purpose of this unit is the candidates’ interaction of theory and practice and the development of group problem solving and investigative skills. The theoretical aspects of the unit derive from the emerging theorizing underway within their research project unit taken concurrently; ‘CN907.512 Counselling Research Project’. It provides the opportunity for the sorts of interaction that are typical of the field of practice where candidates must engage with persons of diverse outlooks, theoretical approaches and worldviews.
This unit is taken over the semester at a praxis site or sites chosen for the effective community counselling practice or innovative approach to specific community issues; minimum 50 hours of intervention and 24 hours of reflective activities including individual and group supervision and cohort discussions.
