As part of the HND Counselling qualification with The University of the Highlands & Islands, trainee counsellors are required to present a case study reflecting on their therapeutic work. All trainees are carefully selected, work under supervision, and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. This form asks for your informed consent to be the focus of that training case study.

If you agree: Your case will be fully anonymised. No identifying details will be included. • Only relevant extracts of the work will be used. • The presentation may be shared with a course tutor, a small group of trainee peers (approximately four), and the counsellor’s clinical supervisor. • The purpose is educational reflection, including theory, ethical practice, supervision, and self-evaluation. • Presentation materials will be securely deleted approximately two months after assessment. Your counselling support will not be affected if you choose not to consent.

• You may withdraw your consent at any time. • If withdrawn, all related case study materials will be erased. • Your decision will not impact your access to counselling.
