This module starts in module one and runs in parallel with the other modules extending throughout the programme. It focuses on the psychological and emotional development of students and their ability to be aware of and make sense of their internal world. It emphasises the need for counselling practitioners to have a good understanding of the internal influences which shape their behaviour, the past events and relationships which have influenced (and continue to influence) their frame of reference and to find a resolution to personal difficulties from the past which may obstruct their ability to engage effectively in a counselling relationship.
The forum for this will be the Process Reflection Groups and Encounter Groups. Process Reflection Groups are established in the first year of the programme and Encounter Groups in the second year. These groups are used to support students to express their emotions and

It helps students to learn how to make use of the process of dialogue and learn to receive and make use of feedback. It allows students to develop their ability to be introspective and monitor their own state of mind and the appropriateness of their actions.
The module also focuses on the development of the ability to be empathic to others and to communicate this empathy. It seeks to develop the students’ ability to offer unconditional positive regard to others genuinely and as a way of building trust and self-belief within the other. It supports the development of students’ ability to accurately recognise their thoughts, feelings and reactions in relation to clients and to be able to congruently communicate this inner world in a way which is relevant and therapeutically supportive of clients. It supports the students in their ability to monitor the impact of their views and assumptions on clients as well as promoting a deeper awareness of how their social, educational, religious, cultural background and experiences can influence their counselling. Although it is not a requirement of this module the majority of students also choose to engage in personal therapy. This module presents this personal development agenda as a process which students take responsibility for maintaining and keeping healthy for as long as they practice.
