This unit is the second part of the counselling skills training. Students will have spent I year in a clinical setting with supervised patient contact. This second module will continue their development of clinical counselling skills that are appropriate in an audiological setting. It re-visits the core conditions of counselling that were introduced in module 1 and allows students to evaluate their experience in applying these skills in the work-place. It then explores the more complex area of problem management and changing beliefs and behaviour associated with hearing loss. Further counselling theories and approaches will be introduced with the emphasis on how they can be applied in a clinical setting.
