Applied Counselling Report Writing Assignment Help

Task : 1 Written report  The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the application of appropriate counselling skills and techniques that you have been exposed to in this unit. Make a recording of a face-to-face counselling session of 30 minutes in duration. Transcribe 10 minutes of the recording and submit as an appendix to the assessment. Appendices are not included in the word limit. You will need to ensure that the transcription provides adequate material to answer this part of the question. The transcription does not need to be consecutive. Please record the starting time of each element of the transcription. Using examples drawn from a transcript of your counselling session you must demonstrate the use of generic skills in combination with one of the therapies studied in this unit. Please ensure:

• The ability to open the interview is demonstrated
• The ability to assist client to explore the issue, set goals and determine course of action is demonstrated
• The ability to apply person-centred skills demonstrated

While this may be a real life situation or a role-play scenario, the client should not be a member of your family nor a very close friend. Task : 2 Critical reflection  The purpose of this part of the assignment is to demonstrate an ability to reflect on and assess your counselling skills and yourself as a therapist, including the ability to identify areas for improvement. The written assessment requires you to critically evaluate your skills, addressing the following:

• identification of the therapy chosen and a brief explanation of why this specific modality was chosen
• what you feel you did well, with verbatim examples from the session to illustrate the points being made,
• a reflection on your own feelings and reactions during the session and how these impacted the session,
• where, in hindsight, you feel you could have done or said something differently to be more effective, with examples of what you might have said or done differently,
• a brief outline of how you might continue to work with this client in future sessions.
