Theory Discussion
Choose one of the health behaviour change or counselling theories listed below.
• Reflect on why you chose this theory or model. How does it align with your personal values and counselling philosophy from Weekly Activity 1?
• Describe the components of the model. Do not assume that I know the theories – you need to demonstrate that you know what they are, and how they work.
• Give an example of how you can apply the theory to behaviour change or goal attainment. You can use your own experience, a dilemma faced by a client, or an imaginary example to demonstrate how the theory works.
• Explain how you can integrate this theory into your future practice with clients.
