• Explain the core theoretical frameworks of the major talk therapy modalities — including CBT, psychodynamic, person-centred, ACT, DBT, and solution-focused approaches — and identify the clinical contexts each is best suited to

• Apply polyvagal theory and nervous system principles to understand client behaviour and inform moment-to-moment therapeutic decisions
• Construct a basic biopsychosocial case formulation for a presenting client, integrating psychological, neurological, and social factors
• Demonstrate core counselling micro-skills — including empathic reflection, Socratic questioning, validation, and reframing — and know when to deploy each
• Recognise the diagnostic features and neuropsychological profiles of common mental health conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, and personality disorders
• Navigate key ethical and professional challenges in therapy practice, including boundaries, confidentiality, safeguarding, and managing countertransference
• Evaluate emerging research in neuroscience and psychotherapy to critically assess new therapeutic approaches and avoid pseudoscientific claims
