Abstract

This report is a reflection of my practicum experience in the counselling unit at Family Service Regina. I focused on learning and practicing cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused therapy for this practicum. These two theoretical approaches are woven throughout the report as I illustrate how my original practicum goals were achieved and the different ways that theory and practice intersected. Anti-oppressive practice is another common theme that has been integrated throughout this report as this practice coincides with my values as a social worker. Moreover, this report discusses the ideology of the Agency, determinants of problems and considers values and how they impact various relationships between the Agency, clients and workers. This report also identifies and discusses the skills I identified as being developed throughout this clinical experience including work in drop-in counselling. Lastly, this report reveals the challenges that occurred during the practicum including ethical challenges and how they were addressed.
