Supervised Clinical Practice 1 - S1 2023

UNIT DESCRIPTION

In this unit, students will be required to complete 50 hours of person-to-person counselling over one semester (including opportunity for alternative modes of counselling including video and/or phone). Student learning will be guided by regular one-on-one and small group supervision, including case conferencing. These forms of supervision will support students to enrich their ethical counselling practice and to develop a deeper understanding of themselves as counsellors. Students will also learn to: write case notes using the SOAP format; make client bookings and manage client loads; manage client records, counselling logs, supervision logs; make referrals when necessary; and ethically and appropriately manage the exchange of client information and release of client information.
