Synopsis
The professional placement course is designed to provide students with a structured situation in an education setting in which counselling skills studied in EDU8332 and EDU8333 can be developed to high levels of competency. It gives the student the opportunity to examine applied problems from a theoretical perspective and to then apply theoretically derived interventions. It promotes a scientist-practitioner model of the professional counsellor. Students will be encouraged to approach counselling scenarios and skill-based learning through observation and intervention. The emphasis is on skill development in a supervised, structured environment. Expert feedback on performance is seen as an essential feature of the learning process and strong emphasis is placed on skill development under adequate supervision.
