2000 Words Critical Analysis & Counselling Role Play Practice Session

The purpose of this counselling role-play practice session is for students to demonstrate their capacity to apply foundational and advanced counselling skills to foster the therapeutic alliance and manage the therapeutic process in an ethical, purposeful, and client-cantered manner. After completing the video counselling role-play practice session, students critically evaluate and reflect on the skills used and provide a conceptualization of the case being presented to inform and guide possible future counselling approaches, interventions, and factors that may be barriers to treatment efficacy and longevity. 

Process:

Role Play Practice Session

Students are required to conduct a role-play and video-record a 30-minute practice Zoom-delivered counselling session. Please ensure you read these instructions on how to record your Counselling role-play practice session via Zoom.

At the start of the video role-play counselling session, state your name, the unit, the term, the year, and the name of your educator. The recording must be submitted for marking.

Learners must written consent from the client to record and submit the session for assignment.

Skills to demonstrate in the practice role-play session

A range of counselling skills and process skills will be discussed in both lectures and tutorials so that students have a clear understanding of the skills they may wish to demonstrate in their videos.

Please remember that students do not necessarily have to demonstrate all possible skills in their role-play practice session video, which moves through all stages of a counselling process. Similarly, in the critical reflection, students do not need to evaluate all the skills that they demonstrated in the video.

Critical Analysis

Students will submit a 2000-word critical analysis that evaluates and reflects on the application of chosen counselling skills and the management of the therapeutic process. The analysis will also include a case conceptualization based on the information provided by the client in the role-play session, counselling approaches, and theories of case conceptualization studied in the unit. Furthermore, students will use this conceptualization to inform and guide their decisions about possible future counselling approaches, interventions, and factors that may be barriers to treatment efficacy and longevity.
