of counselling theories within this model will be investigated and students will develop
their understanding of the practical application of the model. The core micro skills
used in interviewing and counselling will be introduced and practiced in simulated

demonstrating understanding of the professional codes of ethical practice.

attitudes, beliefs, values, prejudices and biases in order to demonstrate cultural
intentionality in well-constructed counselling sessions that enhance their ability
