Course Summary

**This course is primarily designed for face to face learning with you attending your lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the Campus is closed TEC Partnership will continue to deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted with some lessons happening in small groups and others happening using online sessions and support.** This programme is focused on practice for aspiring counsellors. It prepares students for the challenges of working in this vital and frequently fluid area within both the public and private sector, equipping all students with the knowledge, skills, understanding and ethical instincts to work as informed, confident and responsible professionals. The programme will offer students sound knowledge and skills which they can apply to practice during the practical element, where students complete 100 placement hours as a 1-1 counsellor. A further requirement is that the student will participate in ten hours of personal therapy and 1.5 hours supervision per 8 client hours. There are additional student costs associated to this programme for an enhanced DBS, supervision, 10 hours of personal therapy and public indemnity insurance.

Course Details – Assessment Method

Throughout the teaching an emphasis will be made on the context and application of theory to practice, the development of an ethical, anti-oppressive and value-based approach, to inform practice with clients. The nature of the profession further relies upon the practitioner’s ability to utilise reflexive and reflective practice. This will be embedded into specific personal development essays, experiential tasks and into skills practice. The personal development assessment will further demonstrate a critical awareness of self, regarding culture and diversity. Assessments such as case studies, reports and a dissertation will further demonstrate the ability to critically analyse contemporary counselling research. Throughout this programme you will develop a toolkit of practice skills which may be drawn upon throughout your career as a practicing counsellor. You will also further develop your critical evaluation of theory and increase your self-awareness.
