Counselling Theory and Practice

Task: Skills Demonstration

Skills Demonstration of the final counselling session with a client (15 minutes maximum)

Skills demonstrations will be delivered in Weeks 9 - 11 during tutorial time, according to the schedule established by the tutor. Students will work in pairs to deliver the session; one student will play the counsellor, and one will play the client. The focus for this assessment is for student to focus the first half of the role play continuing to engage in theories and counselling, supporting the client to seek a deeper understanding relating to their circumstances. The second half of the role play should focus on the closure process of the counselling relationship. Get Professional Assignment Help Service Now!

Please remember that students are not permitted to bring any additional material such as a script or any other material to the role play. Doing so will result to grade outcome given the insufficient ability of the student to demonstrate an organic relationship.

You are required to have a follow up session, from the initial counselling session (Task 1) and need to use updated case studies to complete the role play. Students are required to:

* Choose a case study (the same as in assessment 1, 2, 3)

Select a therapy from the following list:
o Narrative therapy o Cognitive Behavioural therapy o
Acceptance and Commitment therapy o Family systems theory o Feminist perspective o Anti-oppressive approach o
Grief & loss o Trauma/PTSD
* Demonstrate the skills required for effectively counselling the client in a final counselling session.
* Demonstrate the use of applicable techniques from the chosen theory that may assist with counselling the client.
* Provide referral - if appropriate.
* Close the sessions and end the relationship with the client.
