INTRODUCTIONPersonal and professional development would be very much important which enablepersonal in every field to grow giving them chance to include their learning and skills. All theindividuals who are working are coming from various background and having different skills andqualifications (Reflections on Diversity, 2018). This is said to having diversity within workplacewhich would be considered too as both hindrance and beneficial for personal and professionaldevelopment of those individuals. In this current practitioner pathway which is divided into twoparts namely process report and learning journals. In first part focus will be on reflection astrainee counsellor on personal and professional development of individual. Then in second partwhich is covering reflective dialogue and academic knowledge with experience and that relatedto counselling practice. For the reflective writing purpose Gibbs model of reflection would beused which is helping in simplifying writing.PROCESS REPORTCritically reflection of personal development as trainee counsellor in placement with actualclient.Personal and professional development is the process of growth and learning onindividual and professional or working level. Through this way out organisation and employeewould be engaging in process of learning so that they are able to meet challenges and desire goal.This process is clearly based on need and want of individual and also of company especially thatrelated to achieving goals (Knight, Sperlinger and Maltby, 2010). There are many skills relatedto leadership and management like that of managing of time and working, conducting meetingswith clients and presentations. Other than these there are also many factors which are impactingpersonal development of person and leading to their growth.As the trainee counsellor it is important for me to get complete training on personal andpsychological problems which others are facing on daily bases. It becomes vital and essential forme that I’m getting complete training within this field so that I could be able to give good andcorrect advice to people having personal issues (Kumari 2011). This is the profession which ispreferred by me which help me to understand what are problem faced by people or my clientsand how could I solve it. There are many diversity within this industry which helps inidentification and then reflection on this diversity. There must be link and connection betweenpersonal and professional goals which individual and company or organisation is formulating.1
This topic as per my perception is more difficult and complex to learn and study on as mythoughts and ideas should be going beyond the basic and major challenges of diversity. The basicchallenge would be including like that of gender, race, religion and disability. But other thanthese all stated which covering into deeper context of diversity like those is related topersonalities, belief, experience and reactions to certain situations or conditions.If I need to provide complete and empathically treatment of their issues andunderstanding them so that correct form of service would be provided to client (McLeod andJohn, 2014). So if I’m not been able to identify this diversity I could be able to give them properservice to them. In this way I could be able to give my opinion and thoughts without being biaswith any one client if they are related to my background only. It will also become easy for me toimpose my feeling and thoughts particularly on that time when I and the client have experiencedthe same situation.This is very much normal and common on part of humans that we are intended to lookfor similarities and difference between our and other life. This thing includes as basis forsocialisation or homophily which is summarised as tendency or nature of human beings to linkand make relationship with people who are of similar nature or background. It could also beincluded that counsellors it is my duty and responsibility to identify whether been in thisdiversity is different of it is normal. I have analysed that it becomes important for me to work onwith specified and diversities and not taking it in wrong sense or being threatened or nerves withit.If I’m not been able to identify the cause and problems of working with diversity ofpeople coming from various background then this means that I’m laying down condition onmyself or limiting my personal and professional development (Sanfelippo and Sinanis, 2015). Sothe counsellor should not be placing their any kind of condition on their client that they mustincluding all types of clients regarding just their problems. As in profession where I’m workingor getting training is person centred sector having its major operation and focus on client andtheir issues. It would be good for me to understand how the members of group of my professionare been interpreting the concept of diversity.There are many diversity which people are facing in their day to day life from the effectof which they would be feeling left out or discriminated. This could be causing my clients withhaving issues and difficulties so I should be properly trained in order to handle their problems2
