Description of Counselling/Psychotherapy Practice

I am applying for a professional accreditation as a counsellor in the UK and I need to write an essay describing how I practice. The essay has to be about 5500 words (max 6000) and there are clear guidelines what needs to be covered. Personally, I do have the knowledge and ideas what I’d like to write, however my writing skills are not great, especially when there isn’t much time. So I am prepared to work closely with the writer and either talk in person or supply recordings of what has to be written.

Here are the guidelines that were supplied by the accreditation body:

Knowledge and understanding
• Describe how you work with clients with reference to the theory / theories that
underpin your practice
• Describe how your understanding of theory has been influenced by your experience
of client work
(Maximum word count = 1200 words)

Practice & Supervision
• Provide case material to demonstrate:
• How your practice is consistent with your knowledge and understanding of theory
• How your practice demonstrates your awareness of issues of difference and diversity
• How you make use of the NCS Code of Ethical Practice.
• Describe the awareness you have gained through reflection in and on supervision
• Show how you apply that awareness in your practice
(Maximum word count = 3,000)

Self-awareness
• Describe an experience or an activity which has contributed to your own self-awareness
• Provide a reason(s) for choosing the experience or activity
• Show how you use this self-awareness in your practice
(Maximum word count = 900 words)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
• Describe one CPD activity that you have undertaken in the 12 months
• Explain why you chose this activity and how it has influenced your practice
(Maximum word count = 900 words)

Hope the above is clear; otherwise, please contact me if there are any questions.
Thank you.
