RITTEN ASSIGNMENT – ESSAY CHCCSL002 Apply specialist Interpersonal and counselling Interview Skills Anthony Jury Course # FRE2023ST#001 QUESTION: Research a counselling theory and the skills required to use it with a client. The theory I have chosen is that of reflection. I chose this theory because reflection is like holding up a mirror and repeating the client’s words back to them exactly as they said them. It makes the client feel heard, offers a new prospective and the sentence can be used as a clarifying question. Reflective theory is often used in counselling to establish rapport and build a relationship with a client . It is also used to demonstrate to clients that they understand their emotional states that may have been previously unknown to clients. Disadvantages of Reflective Practice may reason to psychological stress . Feel frustrated when solve problems that were identified during reflection. Frequently reflect on negative issues. The problem surfaces when one tries to predict the behaviour of an individual by the behaviour of the group of which the individual is a member . The process can be manipulated to meet the predictable outcomes of the practice. Pros and Cons of Reflective Practice Models A word of caution about models of reflective practice (or any other model). Although they can be a great way to start thinking about reflection, remember that all models have their downsides. A summary of the pros and cons can be found below: Pros Offer a structure to be followed. Provide a useful starting point for those unsure where to begin Allow you to assess all levels of a situation You will know when the process is complete. Cons Imply that steps must be followed in a defined way In the real world you may not start 'at the beginning Models may not apply in every situation Reflective practice is a continuous process. I feel that this is the most “grounding” form of counselling as it assists the client in reflecting their own thoughts and bring the issues to the front by way of questioning the thoughts and giving the thoughts back to the client to verify their ideas.

Communicate Effectively Understanding the communications barriers and using strategies to overcome these in the client – counsellor relationship. Work role Boundaries These exist to provide a suitable framework for conducting business and they provide mutual understanding between the client and the counsellor. Examples of this include: Ethical application – Following guidelines for counselling professionals, Beneficial behaviour – providing counselling services to benefit the client’s wellbeing, Non – maleficent behaviours – to prevent harm to the client when providing services, Autonomy in roles – the counsellor should encourage the client to independent thinking, Justice in service – ensuring that there is commitment to provide a fair and equitable service to clients regardless of the situation. Honest interactions – being truthful to clients and faithfully honouring a commitment to assist in the client’s progress.

Specialist Counselling Interviewing. The human approach to counselling is one of support. Different techniques can be used to bring forth client awareness for their development and growth. Challenging There may be a need to challenge the client for instance when stories or statements contradict each other. Challenging should be positively and without causing undue stress to the client. Reframing The skill of being able to view situations or events from a different perspective and can be a useful tool for the client to shift negative behaviour and thought patterns. This includes shifting from past to present e.g., being told you are not permitted to drive. Focussing Once the counsellor has understood and becomes familiarised with the client and their situation, focussing can be used in more depth to help the client see the main influences. Confrontation Similar to challenging the skill seeks to raise a question or highlights a particular point in the client discussions when a contradiction has occurred. Client / counsellor boundaries should also include: A confidential counselling service, A fair and non – exploitive client – counsellor relationship, and An honest service that is committed to integrity of care. In the course of your client communications, there may be barriers to success. Some barriers may include: Environmental – an area may not be suited to the client, Physical – There may be difficulty for the client to attend where required, Individual perceptions – How the clients perceive themselves and their situation, Cultural issues – Causing misunderstandings or conflicting with the culture, and Age Issues – How the individual may approach and engage in communications and the words / expressions that they use.
