Enhancing the Training of Counselling Professionals: A Process Approach

Abstract

AbstractThis article reflects on the issues associated with how a trainee counsellor develops as a result of their training and highlights the need for training programs to organise a formal process to establish or integrate policies and practices for the selection, induction, training, supervision and evaluation of postgraduate students. It considers issues relevant to program development and proposes a model that addresses issues for counsellor education. A comprehensive model for the components of counsellor training to become more systematic and integrated is outlined.
