Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

This is a 10 credit module which will occur throughout Semesters 1 and 2. The module requires students to work directly with clients outside of the training programme and to bring this work for consultation and supervision on a retrospective basis to a Clinical Supervisor. Video and audio recordings of students’ clinical work will be an important aspect of the performance of this module. The format of the
module will require each student to work independently with clients for 135 hours and to take part in 8 two-hour individual retrospective supervision meetings and 9 two-hour group retrospective supervision meetings with their assigned Clinical Supervisor.
