The five elements of theory, skills practice, professional development, personal development, and self-assessment, are integrated in this course. Theoretical work will involve a detailed look at other counselling approaches from the humanist, cognitive, behavioural and analytic traditions. Focusing on the person-centred approach, the course will develop an understanding of congruence and authenticity. Attention will be given to the beginning, middle and end stages in the helping process. The practical element will involve integrating theory and practice with the development of congruence. The professional element will include discussion of values, specifically those connected with race, culture, gender and sexual orientation. The impinging of client issues on the helper will be investigated, and a reflective learning log will be used for personal assessment.
