When comparing and contrasting the differences in the three approaches, I will review the relationship between client and counsellor. I will attempt to discover how the relationship is formed and how it is maintained during the therapeutic process. Once this has been established, I will then look at how

Psychotherapy and counselling are inseparable. The effectiveness of a counselling program is not just based on the connectedness and interaction between a therapist and a client, but also the framework of the counselling approach in helping the client improving his mental health or overcoming personal problems. There are an extensive number of psychotherapies developed by past researchers, with each therapeutic concept offering unique contributions in understanding human behaviour and useful implications for counselling practice (Bedi et al., 2011).

Counseling is a relatively young profession when compared to other mental health professions. In my brief personal and professional experience with the field, I have come to define counseling as a process of engagement between two people, both of whom are bound to change through a collaborative process that involves

Relationship Building in Life Coaching Tacondra Brown LIFC 202 August 12, 2013 Liberty University Abstract The coach-client relationship is the heart of all life coaching processes. Whether it involves executive coaching, leadership, marriage or financial coaching without a client to serve, a coach cannot fulfill his or her purpose. Hence, knowing how to effectively build relationships with people is fundamental to being a successful life coach. This research paper will explore the dynamics of the coaching relationship as it relates to factors, such as commonalities and compatibilities, which influence the development and maintenance of effective relationships, as well as components that are critical to the

It is the depth and breadth of the research spanning over 3 decades that provides researchers in the coaching domain a body of knowledge to build upon, compare and contrast (De Haan, XXX). Throughout the literature, various terms are used to describe the relationship including, the therapeutic alliance, ego alliance, working alliance and helping alliance and I will refer to the generic term of alliance (Horvath & Luborsky, 1993) as meaning, “the client and counsellor’s subjective experience of working together towards psychotherapeutic goals in the counselling context, including the experience of an interpersonal bond that develops while engaged in this endeavour,” (Duff and Bedi, 2010, p.91). The alliance is therefore viewed as partnership with both parties actively contributing to the relationship with an emphasis on being

Countertransference, which occurs when a therapist transfers emotions to a person in therapy, is often a reaction to transference, a phenomenon in which the person in treatment redirects feelings for others onto the therapist.

According to Dr. Linda Seligman (Laureate Education, 2012), Scholar- Practitioner world of Counseling Arena helps a counselor or therapist understanding that you have to know the key elements of theories. Plan out a ” Road Map” that would be successful in helping the client development according to Dr. Linda Seligman, in the media video’s( Laureate Education, 2012), that discusses important to know the elements of a theory and creating a common language for success, Integrate role researching, in your practices.

Collins (2009) explains how support is the most distinguishing factor in coaching (Collins, 2009, p. 85). The client needs to feel supported and respected to make strides in coaching (Collins, 2009, p. 85). I believe by welcoming my client and actively listening to the information being shared, as well as, guiding instead of giving advice, my client will be able to see I am committed to the coaching. I believe when these skills are presented and maintained within the coaching process, the client will be more willing to tackle difficult

Professional Practice 16/17 Bowlby’s attachment theory & Winnicott’s stages of developmental The following essay will aim to explore two developmental theories. It will also look at how they have become relevant in counselling and psychotherapy practice, how they should be helpful and offer support when a presenting issue occurs from a client, and how the counsellor will work in partnership with the client. The chosen theories are based on John Bowlby’s attachment theory and David Winnicott’s developmental theory.

The main focus of this essay has to be on the three ‘core conditions’, as utilised by the counsellor to promote a positive movement in their client’s psychology. They are intended for maintaining a focus on the client’s personal growth, and detract from the therapist’s own outside world. The three core conditions are the professional apparatus or tool-kit of the therapist, and the use of each is a skill in itself but the combined forces of all three in an effective manner requires an abundance of skill or experience. These are, as have already been mentioned, congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy. They are separate skills but are intrinsically linked to each other. If used correctly, they can guide the client to a state of self-realisation, which could lead to the development of a healing process.

The therapist and client relationship is important in effective therapy. The therapeutic relationship must be built upon before any technique and theory will be effective. Communicating real empathy and showing a genuine interest in the client will begin a solid therapeutic foundation. However, the therapist must “have the ability to stay outside the system while maintaining some emotional attachment to its members” (Patterson, Williams, Edwards, Chamow, & Grauf-Grounds, 2009, p. 107). This paper reviews and critiques an interview I recorded of a couple that pertains to clutter building up around the house. The goal of this activity was to seek out information using various questioning techniques and basic interviewing skills, and

Clear definitions also help to prevent conflict due to misunderstanding. Many clients come into therapy with the same expectations with which they walk into the physician’s office: they relay their problems, and the expert will prescribe a fix to make the pain disappear. While anything is possible through the power of the Spirit, as the American Counseling Association (2017) defines counseling as, “…a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals” (paragraph 2). The power in counseling is in the process of relationship building that empowers clients to process and grow out of their
