Practitioner Observation
You noticed several areas of improvements for this practitioner session, good critical eye and perceptiveness. I also thought the session was choppy and did not flow smoothly at times. I think your observation of the practitioner interrupting the client is key for that. Something, I was not able to pinpoint, thanks for that insight. I did notice the time Sarah was upset, and trying to gather her thoughts and the practitioner continually asked for Sarah's other hand and Sarah obviously was not ready. I wish the practitioner would have given Sarah the silent time she need to gather her emotions on her own. The practitioner’s example of “putting words in Sarah’s mouth,” as you noted, is a good example of the practitioner demonstrating a

    Unit 2 Module 3 Essay Rapport and the importance 010215

    My two favourite books relevant to these initial phases of this course are a very much loved and old Client – Centred Therapy [1] and Ericksonian Approaches [2]. These books, the former in particular are gentle and comprehensible and have much of the content based on ‘how we are with our clients. Rapport appears to be the foundations of all we do with our clients. It is cited in [2] as “unconditional positive regard “and therefore creating an environment both mentally and physically of our clients feeling they have our undivided attention.…

    Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and How it can Help Jane

    At present I am working with a client whom for the purpose of this case study I will refer to as ‘Jane’ in order to adhere to the ethical principle of fidelity. Furthermore I will also change the names of anyone else mentioned throughout in order to protect their identity. I have had six sessions with this client each lasting one hour. She is thirty-five years of age and comes from a working class back round. At present Jane is unemployed and is not actively seeking work as she suffers from a bad back and as a result of this is a recipient of sickness benefit. She is co-habiting with her fiancé of three months whom she plans to wed later in the year, although no date has yet been finalised. This client self referred to ‘Care In Crisis’ as she had heard about the organisation through a friend and felt she ‘needed to talk.’ During the initial assessment she disclosed that her mother had passed away as a result of cancer in March of this year, hence her reason in coming for counselling is to help deal with the bereavement issues surrounding this. Since loosing her mother she has felt very low and misses her terribly as they were very close. Furthermore, Jane also feels that it is starting to take its toll on other relationships in her life as she finds herself snapping at people. She also stated that she has low self esteem and has barely any confidence in herself. Her goals in coming for counselling are to be able to accept her mother’s death as well as building her self esteem and confidence. Firstly I feel that some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches may work well in overcoming Jane’s needs. “Psychoeducation and normalising interventions are frequently used in ACT and CBT.” Bach & Hayes (2002) I can see that they are relational interventions because they involve teaching people new relations. I believe it would be beneficial to psycho educate her on the ‘seven stages of grief.’ My aim in doing so would be to help Jane make sense of the emotions she is going…

    The current position I hold is in infection control at a large facility of approximately 350 beds. It has been an interesting journey in which I have grown beyond anything I could have imagined.

    Practice Discovery

    As individuals we all have different experiences throughout life. Depending on what our experiences embrace will determine our perceptions of discoveries. Once discovery is created, previous perceptions of the world and our interactions with others may be reassessed. Conversely, having preconceived ideas and expectations may limit the individual’s experiences of discovery. Absence of preconceived ideas and expectations of the world and others could allow for more meaningful experiences. These aspects of discovery are portrayed throughout Nasht’s documentary Frank Hurley – The Man Who Made History and Judith Wright’s poem Moving South.…

    Single-Case Study: Observation

    I have three graphs that I used to describe how well my sleep was over the experiment. The first graph follows before the intervention, while the second focuses on after the intervention, and the last combines the two. Looking at the graph before the intervention, the hours I slept and the quality was varied and low. While during the intervention the hours become more regular, along with the quality. I would say the intervention improved the quality of the sleep and made it less hectic.…

    Qualitative Observations

    Qualitative Observations: The second site had very little trash, it was even hard to find any trash around the area. First appearance was the water was clear and was over all shallow. The site we got our first sample from was a riffles habitat. Also, in the habitat there were aquatic plants that ran out hand through to get a bigger sample to observe. We much more sensitive macroinvertebrate in the the first net site. The first thing we noticed was the leeches and we had lots of dark brown and black leaves that we needed to remove to get an accurate count on how many marcoinvertableres where in our tray. There was much less movement in this sample than our previous sample at Hartman. The next site we did another overhang habitat that also had…

    Relational Depth In Counselling

    This small gesture maintains client autonomy, allows them to control the sessions and establishes them as the expert in their lives. This reflects the establishes boundaries and the overall attitudes of the person-centred counsellor. This helps the development of relational depth as the client, upon first entering the room in the second session, may still have preconceived ideas on what a counsellor should do. The gesture of handing the session to the client also helps to establish a trusting relationship (Mearns and Thorne,…

    In the first practicum session, I have the chance to role play the client. I tried to fill my emotions as if I am the client who needs to be counseled. The moment I step into the building, I felt a moment of coldness and anxiousness, probably I don’t know what to expect. After I have seated, with the counselor facing me, a total stranger looking at me wanting to talk to me to find out my inner feelings. I was not prepared to share my…

    Skills Development

    Coming to this course from the ‘introduction to counselling skills’, I already had some awareness of the skills and my ability to use them, be that inconsistently. At the start of this ‘certificate’ course I had a very rough toolkit of active listening, paraphrasing and empathic reflecting. I have always been a listener; I strongly suspect during my childhood my mother’s needs rewarded me for listening. However, my mother’s needs also called for validation and me having an answer that made her feel ok about herself. This need to validate people was still present at the start of the course, alongside my need to be validated as a ‘life’ expert having the answers people need; I wanted to ‘fix’ people with my views of life and the attainment of fulfilment from my years of self development and reading.…

    Part 2 Of Advanced Counselling Skills

    At the beginning of the session I introduced myself by first name to the client before outlining the counselling contract with her. I felt it was important for the client to know that I am a student member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy because it provides a framework of good practice when working with clients. Agreeing the contract allowed for client autonomy too. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy suggests that autonomy is respect for the client's rights to be self-governing. (2011, p.2 ) I mentioned I would be working with her in a Person-Centred way which meant that the client would not be led by me, we would be working in her way and that it was her space to talk about what was causing her concerns, and in her own time.…
