Additional Information:
Emphasis on Personal Development (PD) in Year 2 is placed upon an in-depth understanding and awareness of how the self impacts upon others. Therefore you will need to learn to experience how you are perceived by the PD tutor and peer group members. To facilitate this, you will need to be open to self exploration and inquiry, both within the group context and self reflection outside of the group. In your feedback to other group members, your particular focus will be on the Learning Outcomes. To facilitate this and to contribute to the ongoing personal development of others, you will need to articulate your perception and experience of individual group members in a genuine and congruent manner with Unconditional Positive Regard. The whole day workshop provides an opportunity for you to work in a student community setting as a whole programme group together. The focus is on the phenomena arising from power, prejudice, and oppression in society, and the impact of these on the counselling relationship. Two key themes for the workshop will be delivered on alternate years to cover aspects of self in relation to your own intersectional identity and the development of appropriately sensitive and culturally competent counselling practice.
