Internship & Training in Experiential Counselling (50 hrs)

We believe that the best sort of learning happens when we apply it practically. Join this webinar series that is centred in the roleplays and case discussions. Each week we will tackle a different sort of population and receive simultaneous feedback. Roleplay will encourage self-reflection and self-awareness. By embodying different roles and experiencing various emotions and situations, you will gain insights into your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The week will involve one theory class, followed by role play sessions and case discussions.

Topic Covered:

NSSI and suicide:

This topic will focus on how one can work with clients who self-harm and have suicidal ideations/wishes. The session will consist of a foundational theory focusing especially on risk assessment with such clients followed by case discussions and role plays.

Eating disorders:

Interns will learn about the assessment and treatment of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder, including nutritional interventions, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and family-based approaches.

Queer Affirmative Therapy:

A lens that affirms the queer community and advocates for them. A pinnacle for Karma Care’s beliefs and missions. There will be an elaborate discussion on gender and sexuality and how we can be queer-affirmative in our practice.

Trauma-Informed lens:

This session will focus on the importance of being trauma-informed in counselling practice. Students will gain an understanding of how challenging and traumatic circumstances can impact individuals and their mental health. The session will include a case study and discussion to illustrate the practical applications of a trauma-informed approach.
