Describe and present the processes for developing self-awareness in the counselling profession based on Skovholt’s Cycle of Caring (Skovholt & Trotter Madison, 2016, p.18). Skovholt’s work is centred on supporting counsellors to avoid burnout. The Cycle of Caring provides a framework to assist counsellors to separate a client’s personal life from their own. It is important to explain how developing self-awareness and reflective practice is related to self-care, the wellness wheel and avoiding what Skovholt terms “hemorrhaging of the caring self” (Skovholt & Trotter Madison, 2016, p.101). An academic poster contains a clear purpose. The audience are peers and teachers from Uni setting Process: The core elements for the poster include: a rationale, characteristics, influences and processes for developing self-awareness in the counselling profession based on Skovholt’s Cycle of Caring (2005). Students will draw together the subject materials and readings, and conduct wider research to develop this poster.
