Clinical Practice

For module E2, Clinical Practice, there are two specific extra requirements to meet the Accreditation standards:

Supervised Case Work

The Modules E1 and E2 are programmed to take place over a two year period. This means that you can achieve the requirement to demonstrate a minimum of two years externally supervised case work over the period of the course. Clients may be from private practice work or from work within a voluntary sector organisation. You will be required to demonstrate a fully therapeutic relationship with these client. Your supervision reports must refer to the work that you carry out with these clients. Reports will be required by the Course for which participants will need to have completed.

In delivering this course in the past, the trainers have found that work within a voluntary organisation provides the trainee with a great deal of extra experience and external supervision, often at low cost or even no cost. In working in the voluntary sector, you will also be providing a valuable local service.

Clinical Placement

A clinical placement of a minimum of eight days is required for completion of the Clinical Practice module. While Lifetide Training can help with letters of confirmation to aid you in gaining a placement, we are unable to arrange this placement for you. You may find that work with a voluntary organisation will help you to gain such a place.

Code of Ethics

Lifetide Training abides by the NLPtCA code of ethics for training organisations. A copy of the code can be found here.
