    The clinical counselling experience of a master of social work student at Family Service Regina
    (Faculty of Social Work, University of Regina, 2018-11) Gislason, Alanna L.; Halabuza, Donalda; Sanchez, Miguel
    This practicum report explores my practicum experience for a Master of Social Work degree as a Graduate Student at Family Service Regina, a community-based organization offering counselling services to the Regina community. My approach to counselling with clients at this organization was inclusive of three therapeutic approaches which were cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally focused therapy. This report will describe these three approaches and details my experience in applying these therapeutic frameworks. This paper will describe and analyze my experiences, observations, and personal reflections throughout my practicum placement at the Counselling Unit at Family Service Regina. In addition, I will outline in detail how I met my goals and objectives. Themes of anti-oppressive ideology and practice are threaded throughout this report. I end the paper by reflecting on my perspectives as a social worker and the implications for my future practice.

    A practicum counselling experience at Family Service Regina
    (Faculty of Social Work, University of Regina, 2022-04) Rhodes-Reilly, Andrea; Halabuza, Donalda; Fletcher, Kara
    This report outlines my practicum experience providing counselling at Family Service Regina. It was my goal to fully immerse myself into the delivery of counselling services at Family Service Regina (FSR) and develop on my abilities to provide counselling with adults, children, families and couples. My initial focus was to incorporate emotionally focused couple’s therapy (EFT), solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) and acceptance and commitment Therapy (ACT), however this goal was expanded to include the incorporation of models and practices that are effective with children in a counselling setting. In addition to the above noted models, I strived to operate from a trauma informed, attachment focused and anti-oppressive lens. I utilized self-reflective practice and integrated what I learned from regular supervision. I had the opportunity to work with a diverse population of clients, some of whom were experiencing challenging child behaviours, anxiety and depression, attachment and bond ruptures, historical trauma, grief and loss, transitional times of life, marital and relational challenges, and difficulties with strong emotions. My experience providing counselling at FSR has heightened my abilities and confidence as a counsellor.
