I’m moving from software engineering into counseling training.
One issue I ran into: communication competency improves with repeated, structured practice, but many learners lack a consistent workflow outside formal training settings.

I built a small website to test a practice loop:

1. run a scenario drill
2. complete guided reflection
3. review progress over time

Would love feedback from students/research-minded folks:
Does this kind of structured loop align with how you think skills should be trained?

If allowed, I can share the project link in comments.

Hi everyone, I’m a former software engineer now training to become a counselor.

During training, I realized communication skills need consistent repetition, but outside class/supervision it’s hard to practice in a structured way. That gap pushed me to build a small website for trainees like me.

Current focus:

• scenario-based communication drills
• guided reflection after each practice
• simple progress tracking over time

It’s not meant to replace supervision or formal training, just a practice companion.

If you’re a counseling/psych student, I’d really value honest feedback:
What part of communication training feels hardest for you right now?
