MACP 474 - Advanced Counseling Skills & Interventions

3
This course will focus on more advanced counselling skills (e.g., silence, immediacy, self-disclosure, use of metaphor, inferring client feelings, enhancing responses, body awareness). Students will be introduced to theories of change and will learn and practice interventions related to those theories from different counselling orientations. All counselling will be approached and practiced through a multicultural and diversity lens. The course will also cover evidenced based research that supports the importance of developing counsellor-client relationships as well as the use and application of interventions. The growth of self as counsellor will be developed around self-reflexivity, self-compassion, self-care, resiliency, and use of feedback.
