Additional Information:Throughout the module students will be encouraged to develop their counselling skills through simulated role-play exercises, working with their peers in triads. Students will complete a series of formally set role play exercises to enable the lecturer to witness/observe each student in roles as Counsellor, Client and Observer. Students will experience group processes which support them to discover new things about themselves and about their interactions with others. Self-awareness and mindfulness of one’s interactions with others are important tools for developing counselling skills. Group work provides important opportunities to develop counselling skills, this approach is used in all levels of counselling training.
