Therapeutic Approaches And Counselling
How to decide if contact is counselling related or not?
• Whether student meeting more than once to the counsellor or not?
• Does the student ask for or seem to want the contact?
• Is the purpose of the meeting agreed on by both the educator and the student?
• Is there a noticeable progress toward this purpose?
• Does the educator frequently listen and encourage talking?
The focus is more on the person and how he/she defines the problem.
Analyzing the above discussion we can say that in counselling,
• two people are present.
• the counsellor leads to action on the part of client.
• counsellor listens.
• client can be trusted to find their own solution.
• personal growth of client usually occurs.
• resolution of problems is an expectation.
