This subject is designed to meet the accreditation requirements in Australia of the
Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and in Singapore of the Singapore Association
for Counselling (SAC). The practicum is the culmination subject for the Master of
Guidance and Counselling. It is where the threads of the core subjects come together
in real counselling situations. Field-based placements assist the novice counsellor
to develop the skills necessary for quality ethical practice. Students are supported
to negotiate placement/s appropriate to their intended counselling practice and are
monitored throughout.
