Abstract
This essay addresses issues relating to the impact of organisational, structural and situational context on counselling psychology practice. Initially examining issues related to the application of outcome measurement, followed by a consideration of outcome measurement applied in a range of clinical settings. Counselling psychologists in the UK work with a diverse range of clients in a variety of settings (Bor, 2006). When writing the essay I have drawn upon my own experience of working in four different settings, including private practice and the National Health Service (NHS). My private practice includes referrals from external employee assistance programme (EAP) providers and my work as a counselling supervisor includes working with supervisees who work within the voluntary sector.
