QUESTION 1: UNDERSTAND WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TERM COUNSELLING 1. Define what is meant by the term counselling The Oxford English dictionary defines counselling as follows: Counselling (noun):(coun¦sel|ling) The provision of professional assistance and guidance in resolving personal or psychological problems: bereavement counselling. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) provide a definition of counselling, which incorporates the following salient points: • The terms counselling and psychotherapy cover a range of talking therapies; • Counselling is delivered by trained practitioners over the short or long term; • Counselling is aimed at bringing about effective change or enhanced wellbeing by helping individuals to deal with whatever ‘difficulties’ they might be experiencing; • Counselling takes place in a private setting; and • That counselling is always at the request of the client. Based on this research, my interpretation of the term counselling is that it is a range of therapies that are proven to help individuals who want to deal with single or multiple issues, either from their past or their present, in a safe and professional environment. 1.2 Explain their own philosophical approach to counselling The Oxford English dictionary defines philosophy (in this context) as follows: Philosophy (noun):(phil|oso¦phy) A theory or attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behaviour: “don’t expect anything and you won’t be disappointed, that’s my philosophy”.
The 2005 ACA Code of Ethics addresses the ethical responsibilities of counselors with respect to providing counseling in a culturally sensitive manner, and to advocating for the removal of barriers that hamper the growth and development of clients. As you read, ACA also endorses professional standards related to cultural competence and social justice advocacy. Based on your visit to the website of the professional association for your specialization area, what did you find with respect to ethical codes and standards of practice (For example, does the NCDA have its own Code of Ethics? Does the AAMFT have professional standards related to Advocacy?) What other resources or information did you notice on the site?

Lee and Nichols (2010) suggest that there is a difference between professional education in marriage and family therapy, and technical education in how to do marriage and family therapy. There is a difference between education and training, and that professional education as a marriage and family therapist is developmental. Education refers to coursework while training is the development of skills and experiences. The authors agree that in this particular field of study master's level education background is needed to enhance the counselors efficiency and delivery of the practice. Woolley (2010) suggest that the primary purpose of master's level education in the field of marriage, couple and family therapy is primarily served in two functions, being to train students for independent practice using the unique relationally oriented, contextually sensitive healing models and methods of the field of marriage and family therapy.

I hope to discover the value, similarities and differences of these models in more depth and where they can be effective in the counselling environment. Origins of Person-centred Counselling. The beginnings of person-centred approaches can be attributed to the work of an American psychologist Carl
Basic Assumptions of Krumboltz’s Theory This manuscript will explore a class assignment, “Career Development Theory Paper”. The assignment is an undertaking designed to increase counselors’ knowledge and understanding of career development theories, thus obtaining a better understanding of the application of these theories in an effort to better serve our consumers. This paper will discuss Krumboltz’s theory, which is comprised of the Social Learning Theory of Career Decision Making (SLTCDM), Learning Theory of Career Choice and Counseling (LTCC), and Planned Happenstance. The development of Krumboltz’s theory was preceded by a vast history of career development theories whose origins began in the early 1900s. The bulk of these theories did not reflect the true experiences encountered by individuals with disabilities, as suggested by Parker & Szymanski: “…almost no systemic attention was paid to conceptualizing the career development of persons with disabilities until the middle 1960s” (2003, p. 92).
