Unresolved Issues In Counselling
Throughout counselling sessions unresolved issues may have been identified that have not been resolved through the allocated counselling sessions. Identifying unresolved issues and discussing possible way of coping by offering either further work if required or utilising support from other people in the clients’ life (family/friends/support groups) could help the client.
Other ways of helping the client with unresolved issues is to offer follow up sessions after the counselling has come to an end. These follow up sessions can be used as a way to review progress and work on any areas of difficulties.
Counsellors can also use the termination stage for providing further information on possible programmes or offer referrals, helping the client

    The Benefits of Giving and Receiving Feedback for Personal Development

    Feedback can be beneficial in many ways. An essential part of this is the level of commitment given to an individual when a person is observing that feedback. This can also allow the listener to practise skills in understanding whiles empathising with the individual being observed. This shows that the person carrying out counsellor training can develop their own effectiveness at carrying out an observation whilst giving feedback.…

    Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and How it can Help Jane

    At present I am working with a client whom for the purpose of this case study I will refer to as ‘Jane’ in order to adhere to the ethical principle of fidelity. Furthermore I will also change the names of anyone else mentioned throughout in order to protect their identity. I have had six sessions with this client each lasting one hour. She is thirty-five years of age and comes from a working class back round. At present Jane is unemployed and is not actively seeking work as she suffers from a bad back and as a result of this is a recipient of sickness benefit. She is co-habiting with her fiancé of three months whom she plans to wed later in the year, although no date has yet been finalised. This client self referred to ‘Care In Crisis’ as she had heard about the organisation through a friend and felt she ‘needed to talk.’ During the initial assessment she disclosed that her mother had passed away as a result of cancer in March of this year, hence her reason in coming for counselling is to help deal with the bereavement issues surrounding this. Since loosing her mother she has felt very low and misses her terribly as they were very close. Furthermore, Jane also feels that it is starting to take its toll on other relationships in her life as she finds herself snapping at people. She also stated that she has low self esteem and has barely any confidence in herself. Her goals in coming for counselling are to be able to accept her mother’s death as well as building her self esteem and confidence. Firstly I feel that some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches may work well in overcoming Jane’s needs. “Psychoeducation and normalising interventions are frequently used in ACT and CBT.” Bach & Hayes (2002) I can see that they are relational interventions because they involve teaching people new relations. I believe it would be beneficial to psycho educate her on the ‘seven stages of grief.’ My aim in doing so would be to help Jane make sense of the emotions she is going…

    D2 counselling

    Counsellors do not offer advice as such but instead give an insight into a client’s feelings and behaviour and they help the client to change their behaviour accordingly. They do this by actively listening to what the client has to say and comment from a professional perspective. Counsellors are trained to be effective helpers, especially in sensitive and difficult situations. They have to be independent, very neutral and professional as well as respecting the privacy and confidentiality of a client. Counselling can help clients to clarify their problems, identify the changes they wish to make and give them a fresh perspective. Counsellors should help them to seek other options and look at the impact that life events have made on the client’s emotional wellbeing. They also help clients to come to terms with difficult issues and it works best if the client comes to counselling from their own free will.…

    Understanding Context for Use of Counselling Skills

    Counselling is a process of providing the speaker with the time and space to explore and gain an understanding of their problems or of matters that may be causing concern. Through effective counselling the speaker is afforded the right environment to share their unique experience and will work towards either coming to terms with their problems or possibly over time resolving them completely. Counselling is more than offering advice or guidance to the speaker, counselling aims to develop and facilitate a supportive and safe relationship between Listener and speaker and aims to explore, understand and resolve - or come to terms with - the problems facing the listener. There are a number of useful skills which can be used by a qualified counsellor and or by an individual who may have been trained in counselling skills to help others within their given role. As counselling seeks to gain an understanding of the speaker’s motivations or problems, it is necessary for the listener to actively listen to the speaker. This shows the speaker that the listener is paying attention to what is being said and that the listener is interested in the speaker. Active listening can be demonstrated by the listener paying full attention to the listener and the problems and feeling being expressed, the listener can use minimal encouragers to show this such as nodding, using affirming tones, and asking questions to clarify understanding…

    American Counselling Association Code Of Ethics Case Study

    One of the subheadings that stood out to me in this section is the Termination and Referral. I believe this is one of if not the most important subheading of this section. I say this because coming to the end of a counselling relationship is usually one of the hardest parts of it in my belief. This is due to the attachment the client may have developed during the past sessions and may create new problems in an attempt to prevent the relationship from ending. This particular sections gives me an aspiring counsellor, information on how to treat with situations like this should I encounter them in my practice in the…
