This week, we delved into how to read research and explored something called ‘PEEL’. This method discusses how to write a paragraph in an academic essay, which I found particularly appealing due to its logical structure.
We also examined one of the professional associations that counseling professionals in the UK can join: the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). BACP is one of the largest associations and provides an ethical framework for its members. This document helps counseling clients understand what they can expect from their therapist and outlines how therapists should conduct their work. The framework is comprehensive, and I need to start reading and retaining its contents. This might be a challenge given my poor memory, but I appreciate the concept.

I have my first assignment due next Friday. To say I’m apprehensive is an understatement. I haven’t had to do any homework for decades, and now I have to write an essay reflecting on what has motivated me to come to university. The content isn’t a problem, but the wording stresses me out. Fingers crossed.
