We, once more, welcome you to the Transformative Counselling Encounters module.
In this tutorial letter, we provide you with feedback on Assignment 01 and guide you on how it
was evaluated.
We have received feedback that students are enjoying Transformative Counselling Encounters
module. We have also received comments from students that they are already deriving benefit
from interacting with the experiential activities and assignments in the module and are looking
forward to applying some of the newly acquired skills and principles in their everyday lives. The
following messages from some of our current and previous students attest to this:
“…I have loved this entire module, and the practical aspect within the assignment portion, has
permanently added to my own set of skills”.
“…I am also 54 years old and have had many experiences that have led up to this counselling
course and indeed this course has powerfully impacted me in my growth process”.
“Let me just take the time to praise you & your department on the 3rd year PYC modules offered, all
of which were incredible. None more so than Transformative Counselling Encounters, which I
found to be a refreshing take on learning with regards to the concepts explained. I'm sure new
students registered for this course will enjoy it every bit as much”.
We hope that all of you have had an enriching experience studying this module thus far.
There are a few matters that this tutorial letter aims to cover, namely, to:
1. Discuss the tasks and activities
2. Discuss the reflective journal
3. Provide feedback on Assignment 01.
Activities in study guide and the reflective journal
There are activities in each unit of the study guide. These include questions to think about, self-
tests, exercises to do, and drawings to interpret. They are designed to help you to draw out
important ideas and main points. Occasionally, they are designed to test how carefully you have
worked through the material. We strongly urge you to complete these activities, since they are
an important aid to helping you understand the texts you will be studying but no marks will be
allocated. Activities in the study guide for example 3.2 is not compulsory. The required reading
material for this course is contained within the study guide itself. Introductions, comments and
activities have been included to direct your reading of the primary and secondary literature. We
suggest you study the sections in the study guide with the study notes:
• Lay counsellors and other non-professionals (study unit 3) (STUDY NOTE 6)
• Assessing a client in a counselling setting (study unit 4) (STUDY NOTE 2 & 9)
• Micro-skills of counselling (study unit 5) (STUDY NOTE 1)
• Checking-in and contracting (study unit 5) (STUDY NOTE 3)
• Termination of a counselling session (study unit 5) (STUDY NOTE 7)
