Welcome to the Counseling Tutor podcast, the must listen to podcast for students of counseling and psychotherapy.

Here are your hosts, Rory Lee's Oaks and Ken Kelly.

Hello, I'm Rory. I'm with me as always is Ken. How are you doing, Ken? I am exceptionally well,

Rory. I'm glad to be here. You have tuned in to the counseling tutor podcast. This is episode

127. And we're going to be starting today's episode by speaking about recordings of skills sessions. And there's going to be a super duper

download for that as well so make sure you stay with that one and that applies to you

whether you're a student recording for simulated session for that to be assessed or

a qualified counselor recording your sessions to kind of review those sessions if you

need to look back on them and to learn and grow.

Then we're going into check-in with CPCAB where today Rory you spoke with Kelly Bud

and that was on the topic of reasonable adjustments. Can you kind of give us a feel for what that

topic is? Yes, well, you know, not everybody's equal. We know that. And sometimes people need reasonable adjustments for things like maybe dyslexia or maybe a learning difficulty or if someone's sight impaired or maybe if someone just needs support in another way.

And Kelly Budd talks about what can be put in place, what they consider reasonable for a learning institution

or a centre, as they called, to put in place to support learners so that they level the playing

field a bit. So needed. And we end episode 127 today by speaking about a spiky, I guess, topic, and that is breaking of confidentiality.

But it might be a little bit different to you imagine, because when I'm speaking about breaking

of confidentiality here, we're speaking more about when we are required, when we are mandated

to break confidentiality, and we have to go ahead and do that but it's about

managing the feelings that might come up for us as a counselor and I guess managing fallout from

feelings that a client may bring on that as well so a really packed episode so let's get straight

into the meat of things and we're going to start off with recording your skills session and I guess Rory if you if you're doing this within a learning in your learning journey

You need to record those skills sessions your skills need to be evaluated before you can go into practice
