The Self - Counselling (Applications)

1 - Counselling for clients with depression

The therapy is client-centered

  • Led more by the client, currently known as counselling
  • Works on the basis that the client knows themselves the best
It involves the following elements
  • The counselor avoids giving instructions, and shows that they understand the client's feelings
  • The counselor genuinely thinks the client has a capacity to discover a way forward towards self-actualisation, as the client has a free will
  • The counselor shows empathy for the client, and lets the client know that
  • The counselor genuinely allows the client to express themselves
2 - Relationship counselling

The counselor is trained in the same way as above
  • The basic aim is to make it possible for couples to meet, talk openly, and exchange ideas/feelings
  • It is hoped that the couple can reconcile without being told what to think/feel/do
3 - Careers guidance

The careers adviser follows the above method
  • Try to get the client to clarify in their own mind what is best to do next
