Students will focus intensely on preparing for clinical practice during semester one and will not be permitted to commence clinical practice until the end of semester one. The main emphasis will be on therapeutic frame and the development of specific skills associated with the key theoretical modalities covered on the course. Students will gain understanding of the therapeutic process from the point of referral to the first session, middle stages and ending of the counselling relationship, of the use of the therapeutic relationship in relation to the therapeutic process and of the role and importance of supervision. Supporting students through the development stages of their practice via the on-going support of clinical placement and clinical case discussion groups, seminars and personal and professional development groups. Student\u2019s clinical practice and case discussions are then enhanced and supported by the theoretical and practical elements taught on the program with advanced skills being taught in parallel. You will also explore brief and time limited approaches to practice. The module links efficacious clinical practice with a research ethos and skills to help the student identify an initial focus for their research project. 1) Intermediate skills &amp; clinical case discussion 2) Intersection of research and practice 3) Develop a coherent and competent approach to integrative theory and practice.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-1\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tEthical, Professional and Contextual Issues\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module will focus on four themes 1.

The module aims to enable students who already have a foundation in counselling theory and skills to fully appreciate the role and application of research in this area. During the module students will be introduced to a variety of methods and approaches, which will be examined with a highly practical focus. Emphasis will be placed on the kinds of issues and research questions which are commonly addressed in counselling, and which might be addressed using different research approaches. Students will demonstrate their acquisition of the knowledge by presenting a proposal suitable for a final year dissertation (Formative assessments). The students will need to make an application for Newman University ethical approval, which must be achieved prior to carrying out the Systematic Literature Review As the module progresses students will have the opportunity to focus on and explore a particular area of clinical practice, and of theory in relation to practice. Students design, plan and execute an in-depth Literature Review with a systematic search strategy and methodology and a narrative synthesis. Students will consider applications for counselling practice. The Systematic Literature Review should draw upon and critically evaluate a range of both classic and contemporary research findings through a clearly identified systematic search strategy using the following databases: PsycINFO, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences and PsycARTICLES.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-1\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tMental Health Perspectives and Working with Complexity\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module aims to provide an overview of key perspectives on psychological and emotional distress. It includes a consideration of neurobiological contributions to the understanding of developmental challenges and its psychological consequences. The module seeks to encourage students to understand mental ill health rom a clinically informed fashion, in terms of aetiology, classification and treatment. The specific way fields of counselling and psychotherapy assess and manage these issues will be explored, focusing especially on the therapeutic application entailed, and the therapeutic justification for decisions. This module will also promote an appreciation of the multi-cultural issues that can arise in various treatment settings, and the counselling field more broadly. Assignments are designed to develop students\u2019 understanding of the main models of psychopathology and raise awareness of key issues in the field, while at the same time building on their analytical, evaluative and presentation skills.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-newman-course-section alignfull course-section\" id=\"course-section-6536ce98-4a95-4fe9-b28d-090d399551dd\" data-name=\"Placement information\" data-count=\"6\" data-conditional-meta=\"{&quot;conditions&quot;:[{&quot;field&quot;:&quot;placementInformation&quot;,&quot;operator&quot;:&quot;isset&quot;,&quot;valueType&quot;:&quot;static&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;compareField&quot;:&quot;&quot;}],&quot;relationship&quot;:&quot;AND&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"happypress-custom-fields happypress-custom-fields-placementInformation has-text-color has-primary-color wp-elements-818ad5da1a1b48012189a19eee2aa4c8\"><p>Placement Information  <\/p>\n<p>Throughout your Postgraduate Diploma \/ MSc Integrative Counselling course, you will engage with supervised clinical placements across the West Midlands and surrounding areas.
