By beginning to put theory into practice through competent and reflexive application of interpersonal and counselling skills, you will gain an understanding of how critical self-reflection contributes to practical development.

Critically reflect on the personal development aspects of what you have learnt previously and draw upon the relevance of experiences at work and at home.

Develop knowledge from a range of theories related to practice and begin to understand the impact these theories have on the client and counsellor during the therapeutic encounter.
