PSYCP6012 Skills for Practice
Students will consider the importance of the therapeutic relationship and will gain a thorough understanding of techniques designed to build trust between client and helper. Students will learn and demonstrate counselling and interviewing skills. Students will reflect on the impact of their own culture, values, beliefs, and biases and develop skills in reflective and reflexive practice. Consideration will also be given to psychological intervention strategies that support change in clients, and that can be applied across diverse client groups.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $578
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $578
Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
