Seminars involve experiential learning that consolidates the digital learning materials students are required to access prior to attending the seminar. Students engage in skills-based learning through role plays in which all students are required to participate. They are provided with ongoing real-time feedback in class by the lecturer and then feedback through completing a video demonstration of their counselling skills. Students also work in groups to develop clinical reasoning skills by discussing case studies. In doing so, students are required to develop a case conceptualisation that contains a detailed formulation and treatment plan that is consistent with industry standards. There are guest lectures from key industry experts.
