Counselling at Family Service Regina: a field practicum report

Abstract

This document provides a narrative of my personal experience in a clinical counselling practicum with Family Service Regina. Within the report, you will find a literature review of the clinical frameworks I chose to study which included expressive therapy, no-talk therapy, solution-focused therapy, couples therapy, and motivational interviewing. This document will also highlight case studies and discussion of the goals achieved throughout my practicum experience. The themes which emerged from my learning during the practicum include the use of self, the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and the use of multiple frameworks within a counselling session. In addition, challenges and ethical considerations, such as boundaries and self-care, will be discussed. Within the entirety of this document, my personal and professional values will be reflected. To conclude, implications for my future social practice will be discussed, as well as final comments on the use of self and the therapeutic relationship in a clinical counselling setting.
