Assessment 1 Theorical Approaches to counselling
Task Summary
For this task, you need to summarise six (6) counselling models and their underpinning theories in 1,000 words. You can choose your preferred models from the following list:
Please note, the teacher said that is not necessary to write 1000 word, however, we need to explain each therapy and the theory and this is a visual power point, It has to be creative, check on for ideas,
Personcentred Therapy
Gestalt Therapy
Solution-focused techniques
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Narrative Therapy
Mindfulness based practice
You need to write an introduction explain briefly which models you have chosen and why, and a conclusion bringing together the information you have gathered. Context To assist your learning in this subject and throughout your course, it is crucial that you are able to first identify the major counselling models and their theories. It is expected that summarising each approach succinctly will help you understand the relationship between models and give you a foundation for the in depth discussion of each model in lectures and the application of different models in case studies. Your summary of counselling models will prove a very useful reference when you are considering the most effective model to use for a particular case.
. ( The teacher said that we do not need to have an introduction and a conclusion, because its a visual poster/ a power point presentation, however , it needs to be visual, creative.
Please explain each therapy, and look at the book of counselling skills for ideals of how to communicate with clients,
Task
Instructions To complete this assessment task, you must develop a poster in either Word or PowerPoint. On this poster, you must outline six (6) counselling models from the list above. You can set out the information on the counselling models in a table or else using a series of headings. You may wish to add imagery or colour so that each counselling model stands out, making it easy to use as a reference during the course.
Whichever way you present the information you will need to write an introduction and conclusion. The introduction will explain why you have chosen the six particular models and the conclusion will be a reflection on those models, briefly bringing together their commonalities and differences.
For each model, briefly explain the theory on which it is based and clarify the distinguishing features and techniques it uses. You may choose to use bullet points for features and techniques, as you have a total of about 125 words per model.
The object of the assessment is to develop a poster that is easy to read so that you can refer to it throughout the course. ( POWER POINT PRESENTATION)
Referencing It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research.
