In this course you will examine narrative career counselling as a practice that places an emphasis on the client-counsellor relationship. You will examine the approaches underpinning narrative career counselling originating from the pioneering work of Michael White and David Epston (1990). Through participating in this course, you will gain insight into the broadly based philosophies of counselling approaches founded in constructionist theories and life design approaches. You will develop knowledge of counselling processes and gain skills through the exploration and application of counselling theories and models, with an emphasis on the narrative counselling approach.

This course includes required participation in an on-line Counselling Skills Workshop where you will work in small groups to gain practical supervised experience as a counsellor. You will be able to choose from a number of Workshop options to complete this requirement.

The Counselling Skills Workshop is equivalent to a work integrated learning experience in which your?knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace?context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
