Course description

This course will provide students with the basic interpersonal skills that are foundational to all aspects of counselling. The skills are used to develop within students the process of counselling that will be the core structure into which all other courses of the program are based. Skills will be developed to encourage client-centered care through the telling of the experience of the client and developing and testing of broad hypotheses of a biopsychosocial nature that will be used to assist in consideration of appropriate care and interventions at levels from prevention to early intervention to treatment. The process also involves the broad understanding of assessment which will then also be addressed in this course. This course will also consider the important role of ethics within the process of counselling.
