Personal and professional development (PPD) are key elements that can facilitate your growth and is therefore an essential part of the counselling programme. The BACP (2009), in their professional standards document, strongly recommends that students develop their personal and professional awareness. It is therefore important that you become aware of your own boundaries, responsibilities, limitations and strengths in relation to others. The focus of this module is on the relational elements of being in a group, that is your engagement with your fellow colleagues in the group seminars, and your management of the group processes. The use of personal reflection and awareness is central to counselling, the aim of this module is to provide you with an opportunity to engage with the value of PPD and the role it has within the counselling profession. As part of this module you will also be introduced to the various methodologies used for reflective learning, and their application to personal and professional development. Attendance in seminars per semester is expected at a minimum of 80% i.e. 10 weeks out of a 12 week semester. This is in line with the BACP requirements for accreditation .
