This unit (APT7002) and APT7003 are the capstone units for the program. Together they provide students the opportunity to gain experience in researching and implementing a counselling related professional project. Each student, in consultation with their field supervisor, will be required to identify an independent topic with a counselling focus from within their placement. Students will research evidence-based approaches in the literature to support the project proposal and, based on the literature review, produce a counselling related project proposal.
