This subject is primarily an experiential subject with a focus on the acquisition of skills. Issues of strong emotions and increasing and decreasing emotional intensity in a session will be explored. Psychosocial issues and how these impact on the counselling session will also be explored. Counselling skills learnt in Principles of Counselling 1 will be further developed through role-plays and discussion of presented case scenarios. On completion students will demonstrate self-awareness and the ability to critically appraise their counselling practice.

- Demonstrate awareness and interpretation of psychosocial issues and how they impact on counselling outcomes
- Demonstrate awareness and interpretation of factors that may impact a counselling session (e.g. family systems, culture, religious beliefs)
