In this unit, students aim to develop the identity and competence of the student in the couple counselling speciality, promoting an integration of learning from the Specialist Course in Couple Therapy. Within the RAV setting the student is given the opportunity to receive supervised practice in couple counselling, learning to carry out couple counselling using the models and approaches taught in the course. Supervision will occur weekly, most probably alternating between individual and small group. The student will carry a case-load of five selected clients per week. The bulk of the clients seen by the student will be couples, although there will also be an opportunity to work with some individuals around relationship issues. Students must comply with the ethical, procedural and practice standards of RAV at all times. Students have to be available to see clients at least one evening per week.
