You can register here for the four-weekly practise sessions as a graduate or current student of the Diploma course.
Our online practise sessions:
✅Use Zoom rooms to break into pairs (client and therapist) for the practicals
✅Choose sessions suitable for your stage of learning (or for graduates) when you register
✅You can also choose which scripts you would like to practice when you register
✅You must be available to complete the 2 hour session. Please do not book if you can only attend for 1 hour as this causes problems with the management of break out rooms
Practise Session Recording Guidance:
If you wish to record your practise as part of your coaching requirement you will need to request approval from the tutor. The tutor will then enable recording in your breakout room.
Once in your breakout room you will need to press the record button to actually record the session, the tutor doesn’t do this. The recording will then download to your computer automatically once the Zoom session has been closed.
You will find the recording in a folder called Zoom, you may have to search for this the first time.
Please note the recordings do not come back to the College. If you leave the session before the scheduled finish time your recording won’t download until the session has been formally closed.
Please read: key information about the session format
You must read the Practise Session Agreement here before attending a session.
During the practise session you will have a chance to deliver a script/exercise as the therapist and receive feedback from your colleague, as well as experience a script/exercise as a Client and provide feedback to the therapist.
- Therapist: ensure you have your script to hand
- Client: ensure you have an issue to work on and are able to position yourself so that the therapist can see you easily
The first part of the session will be a check-in and set up of rooms, there will be some time for questions after the practical although the primary purpose is for you to practise your skills.
In a practise session you may find yourself delivering one script as ‘Therapist' and experiencing a different script as ‘Client'. Therefore, this is an opportunity to deliver and experience multiple scripts in one session.
The session facilitator will ‘drop into’ break out rooms a number of times to observe. This will allow them to monitor progress generally and answer any questions. If you have a questions for the session facilitator, you can join the main zoom room and request their attention.
