She is a born leader and big talker, but she has a huge heart and I feel that she developed a capacity to listen better. She has had a big input into our class through her sheer honesty and ability to demonstrate it and learn with us all. ]]> 2023-06-28 19:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634542099 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634544673 I think that Becky has gained more confidence in the class, and her knowledge and ability to negotiate and summarise situations has grown and grown. She is a huge asset to our class and it was lovely to see her open up more as the course progressed. I think she will only get better and better. ]]> 2023-06-28 19:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634544673 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634546850 Chris has always been such a force and leader in our group, and has grown and developed his ability to help others with his knowledge and instinct. He is inquisitive and interested and helps us all through with his honesty and ability to ask what we are all thinking. He has been a person that we all like and has a nice way about him that only grows as you get to know him more. ]]> 2023-06-28 19:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634546850 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634549122 Donna has a natural gentle way and is a joy to be around. She has always had a great knowledge of situations but her confidence has grown and she has become a cornerstone of our class. Naturally empathetic and wonderful but that has really grown as she has grown as a more prominent member of the class. I adore her and think she is recognising her destiny. She will make a great counsellor as she develops her qualities every day. ]]> 2023-06-28 19:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634549122 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634550303 I think that Emma has developed really well as she has gone along. She is very interested and inquisitive and is not afraid to speak up for the group. She is a leader but also a great team player and very helpful and kind. She has developed into a calmer person and is a great attribute to our class. ]]> 2023-06-28 19:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634550303 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634551513 Katherine is amazing and has grown from a quiet girl sat alone into a leader of our group. She is highly intelligent and has been a great asset with her input and knowledge. Her confidence in her ability has been growing from week to week and she has grown as she has been so honest and sincere. I think she is on a journey to being a great counsellor. ]]> 2023-06-28 19:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634551513 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634558951 I think that Emma has become a calmer and more composed person as the course has progressed. She is very kind and helpful and a natural leader, and she has gained better active listening skills and is more patient with her listening. She is a good learner and a good team player. ]]> 2023-06-28 19:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634558951 kay has become a better listener and a great team player. She is naturally strong in her opinion but her honesty has been wonderful. I feel she has gained a more rounded understanding of different people, in a diverse class, and has shone with her genuine and confident personality. She is a credit to the class. https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634561917 2023-06-28 20:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634561917 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634564419 Kim has been a joy to be with since day one. She participates well and is always open and inquisitive. It is hard to say where she has developed, as she is a great learner and team player. She has probably developed her confidence as she has gone along. ]]> 2023-06-28 20:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634564419 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634565295 Linda has grown into a very confident and natural leader with her kindness and helpfulness. She has grown in determination and is an excellent student and future counsellor. ]]> 2023-06-28 20:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634565295 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634566597 Nicola is naturally gentle and shy, but she has grown and developed by opening up more. She has great listening skills and a nice way, but I think her development has been with her confidence and she seems to grow every week. ]]> 2023-06-28 20:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634566597 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634567897 Olushola has grown with her confidence and understanding of counselling. She is very bubbly and funny naturally but she has developed her knowledge and is very good at listening to and understanding problems. Her natural ability is growing as her wisdom grows. ]]> 2023-06-28 20:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634567897 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634569774 Sam has grown in her confidence as she has progressed. She is naturally gentle and understanding and has a nice way about her, and as her knowledge and confidence has grown, she has become more rounded as a student and active member of the class. She is kind and calm and grows week on week in her work. ]]> 2023-06-28 20:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634569774 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634570523 I think that Stuart has developed in his learning by gaining confidence and recognition of his learning. He is a great listener and seems to get better at role play every time I practice with him. ]]> 2023-06-28 20:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634570523 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634571783 Tracy is honest and a good team player and it is hard to pick a part she has developed in. She has gained more confidence in her counselling skills as we have progressed and has developed a calm and patient attitude. ]]> 2023-06-28 20:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634571783 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634580007 Angela often doubts herself and her work. She also finds it difficult to feel sure of her notes. However, she is gaining in confidence and, as she gets her work back passed she is growing in self worth. She knows that she is capable of completing this level and of doing level 4.]]> 2023-06-28 20:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634580007 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634580777 Becky seems like a very competent person, she is well organised and self assured. I can tell that she has had some issues in her life and that these are why she'd like to help others and herself through the course. She is even more self assured, now.]]> 2023-06-28 20:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634580777 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634581135 I admire Chris for doing this course when some of the elements of the course and the way we must deliver the work has been challenging for him with his condition. It is wonderful to see him growing and seeing that he really can cope and do what is needed.]]> 2023-06-28 20:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634581135 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634581597 Donna was a little unsure of herself at first having been out of education since leaving school. Despite that intial anxiety she really has develope and bloomed and is showing signs of being an excellent counsellor. This was evident in a role play she did with Chris which we all observed.]]> 2023-06-28 20:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634581597 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634582088 I do not know Emma as well as the others as she did not do Level 2 with us. I can see that her own issues are bringing her to counselling which I think will help her become a good therapist. She seems very oranised and stands up for herself and what she believes - again good tools for a counsellor.]]> 2023-06-28 20:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634582088 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634582641 Katherine was not with us on Level 2, but seems a caring, sensiible, bright person.

She has young children and a job and has struggled to keep up with the work, but she is determined to get it done, showing her determination, so that she can apply for Level 4.

She doubted her written work very much initially, buut her confidence is growing. Even when she has had family prpobelms and has been exhausted, she has got herself to class, so determined is she to succeed with this course and move on to the next level]]> 2023-06-28 21:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634587083 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2634587495 Nicola, it's great to see that you're starting to believe in yourself and becoming more confident.

As with some others, she has to juggle with family life. but she is determined to succeed in this new career which compliments her work as a social worker.

Like others, he had not done much written work since school and doing essays was a challenge at first. However, despite his anxiety about 'getting it', he has stuck with it and persevered.

I have always found you to be naturally empathetic but as the course has gone on you seem to have really honed in on that skill and seem to be able to question and challenge people without it feeling in any way judgmental.

Over the course of classes, I have seen Tony sometimes lack confidence in himself but I have always seen him do his best to power through and put the work in.

I feel like kay has settled into the course and become more positive and productive since starting the sessions with Saffee. https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635228279 2023-06-29 14:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635228279 Kim, a very funny, kind, approachable lady with a great personality. I have enjoyed getting to know Kim and I have found her to be insightful, honest and relatable. Kim works great within the group setting and brings along a sort of comradery.

We have not worked together on a one to one but from our group interactions you're funny, kind, real and most of all upfront. You get to the point and don't have fear to ask questions. We have had some little laughs in our sessions and you have helped make my experience a good one. https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635236943 2023-06-29 15:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635236943 Stuart, I have grown very fond of you and have enjoyed your input in this course.

There is never a dull moment with you around. I love your openness to ask questions and clarify facts and you have taught me not to be sacred to do so myself.

At the start of the course Stuart was quite reserved, however now is more open and able to express his views in class. He has gained confidence in his counselling skills and appears to become more comfortable and settling into his role as a counsellor. Maybe misinterpreting, at the start of the course Stuart found it difficult to share his feelings in check ins/outs for example. However now seems expressing his feeling is an area he has made a conscious effort to improve and has improved significantly! ]]> 2023-06-29 15:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635252163 I find Kim, to be a lovely and friendly person to chat to.

Softly spoken and always willing to engage. Sam seems knowledgeable and very collected in herself which encourages trust, I think this will be a key part of her counselling skills. https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635269960 2023-06-29 16:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635269960 I have noticed that Chris has developed his active listening skills throughout the course and has displayed patience with us especially when we encounter technical difficulties.

He is always willing to help others, very kind and polite. 
He is always positive and is a valuable member of the group who shares his knowledge and cares about the development of others. He is a good listener, is easy to talk to and I feel safe to be myself around him. Tony has been honest about his struggles personally and the course, however he has displayed resilience, is hardworking and will make a brilliant counsellor.]]> 2023-06-29 16:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635277965 https://padlet.com/cking284/8srb5goh2983md2c/wish/2635283551 Tracey is resilient, caring, good listener and always willing to help her peers.
