Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. This is a problem that asks you to reflect according to your own views. Basically, it is asking you to pinpoint a 'population' and explain why it will be difficult/challenging for you and then to relate your plan in how to overcome it. Since you did not share or indicate any particular issues with a population, I have chosen one that many counsellors often experience difficulty with and this is culture/ethnicity. When putting together your paper on this subject matter, I suggest that you follow this outline:

1. The Population - here explain why a particular population group might create issues for you. About 250 words.
2. Your Strategies - here explain the strategies you will take up to prepare and overcome the challenges. About 250 words.

The simple 2 steps above should be enough to answer this problem. I have followed this in the example below. Good luck with your studies.

Sincerely,
OTA 105878/Xenia Jones
