The course in theories and techniques of counselling would provide students with an understanding of the roles and functions of the counselor and client in the context of the various theories that are applicable to the client's needs. Several theories would be studied to determine their fundamental principles, objectives in counselling, techniques that are unique to a given situation and theory, and expected outcomes. As a practical course, students would be expected to learn and apply techniques in counselling clients, administering simple assessment instruments, preparing a treatment plan, and completing paperwork for clients. Collaboration is important in the counselling profession. Therefore, students would be given the opportunity to do group work and receive supervision that provides support and professional growth.
