Discuss the issues and concerns for beginning counsellors.

The following list includes some common issue and concerns that beginning counselors often make.

Projecting – if you have a common issue or experience, assuming that your client's experience is the same as yours rather than listening from the client's point of view.

Closed question – killing the conversation and usually changing the topic

Asking too many questions in one response – the client doesn't know which one to answer

Not allowing for silence – responding quickly because you want to say something or you're afraid to experience some silence. Take a moment before speaking to be more certain the client is finished speaking, and wait until she looks back at you.

Interrupting the client –

ï‚·  With what the counselor wants to say – difficulty with inhibition

ï‚·  By finishing the client's sentence

Lots of content reflections without feelings – explore reasons for avoiding emotions

ï‚·  Fear of the client losing control

ï‚·  Unable to see one's own feelings, and therefore hard to see the client's feelings

ï‚·  Devaluing feelings in general

ï‚·  Client seems to avoid exposing feelings

Focusing on the positive: in other words, when the client tells you what's good and bad, reflecting only on the good – not therapeutic unless in later sessions usually

Wanting to solve the problem too quickly – getting solution oriented in the first session ____ ___ __________ _______ ________ _______ ________ _______.
