Note Taking Workshop – Lavender Counselling

So often in the training of counsellors, clinical note taking falls to the wayside in favour of interventions and case conceptualization. As a result counsellors end up feeling uncertain about their note taking and find themselves wondering what should be in them, what shouldn’t be in them. It’s not uncommon for counsellors to hold the weight of many competing expectations, including their own, as they sit down to write their notes. Some of you may even avoid writing them because this weight is so heavy until you’re worried you’ll forget what you need to put down. This workshop will help you understand the BCACC Clinical Standard for Note Taking as well the relevant areas in the current Code of Ethics. It will help you tune into yourself more clearly as you navigate this necessary part of our profession.
