This unit builds on Counselling Integration Practicum in the Advanced Diploma. A supportive structure and environment is created for students to continue their formation as counselling professionals during supervised counselling practice. In addition to requiring students to obtain the required individual professional supervision externally throughout the year, class meetings provide another level of group supervision. These meetings serve as a forum for dealing with emerging ethical, supervision and professional issues encountered during their counselling practice. During these students support and learn from one another as part of their professional training and development.
