On occasion there are self-awareness unexplored problem areas that the counsellor encounters with a client. This could be the counsellor struggling to show acceptance to the client as they are discussing a belief with the opposite opinions of the counsellor. Transference and counter transference (where the client or counsellor see traits of individuals personal to them for various reasons and experience conscious or unconscious feelings towards the other) is also a problem are in counselling which continuous training and supervision sessions are needed to reflect on and discuss supported clients. This is a chance for the counsellor to discuss and reflect on their work with a supervisor. An opportunity to explore feelings, prejudges or develop self-awareness is essential to empower the counsellor to support their clients safely, positively and
Here, a therapist can dispel many of the myths and misconceptions about it, and explain some of the core theories. I believe the explanation at this point should include talking about hypnosis being a state of mind where people are more responsive to positive suggestions. It is also where the therapist can use waking hypnotic suggestion (waking hypnosis). To explain this in more detail, waking hypnotic suggestion is suggestions that are given to a client in a certain manner while in a normal state of consciousness which achieve a hypnotic effect without the use of the relaxed state. What the therapist is doing is getting the client to establish ‘selective thinking’ early on in the session.
Initial Consultation A responsible therapist before undertaking work with a client should endeavour to learn about the prospective client to ensure that hypnotherapy is the right course of action, and beneficial. Some therapist will offer the initial consultation free. This is entirely up to the therapist. There are a number of aims of the initial consultation which are to gather as much information as possible about the prospective clients and the reason they have decided to undertake hypnotherapy. It is important to get down to the real reason why they have come.
Those clients who exhibit such issues are referred onto to mental health care professionals via their referral route, i.e. they are referred back to their GP, NRGDS or advised to seek GP assistance. 2.1 Explain the nature and constraints of the counsellor role within different settings. At the time of writing, Tyne Trans does not have the resources to offer a qualified counselling service. They are, however, attempting to instigate a “befriending” service whereby volunteers are to be drawn from the current membership and be given “key worker” roles within Tyne Trans, and receive some formal training in relation to this.
It can help determine whether the client feels comfortable discussing and disclosing information with the therapist. You can also assess whether or not you can work with the client and especially if they feel they can work with the therapist and also whether hypnotherapy is suitable for the client. An ethical therapist needs to take make sure there is no sexual attraction, if this is the case the therapy should not continue. Obviously in the initial consultation you can determine the nature of the clients problem, this then depends on how many sessions the client will need, for example a one off quit smoking session may differ to another problem which may need 3-6 sessions or more. Therapists ‘work solely with neuroses and not psychoses’ (chrysalis mod2 p22) ethical therapists should cover this when assessing a client in an initial consultation and will discuss with the client what medical and mental health issues
Integrative Theory Paper Janelle D. Osborn Fort Hays State University Abstract Psychotherapy integration attempts to look beyond and across the confines of single-school approaches to see what can be learned from other perspectives and how clients can benefit from a variety of ways of conducting therapy. (pg. 466) “The majority of psychotherapist do not claim allegiance to a particular therapeutic school but prefer, instead, some form of integration.”(Narcross 2005; 2007) (pg. 466) This paper will inform the reader of this writer’s personal theoretical orientation, its key concepts, and the writer’s view of the role as a counselor, the therapeutic goals, its relationship issues and central techniques and methods. This writer’s personal theoretical orientation includes the integration of several theories and techniques from several counseling models.
It’s also easier to make the critical voice ego dystonic, something the client eventually rejects as “not me.” At the same time that you are identifying and naming the pathological critic, you can also introduce the client to his or her “healthy voice.” The healthy voice is the client’s ability to think realistically. By emphasizing and strengthening this ability you are positioning the client to begin talking back to the critic. Names that are typically used for the healthy voice include “my rational part,” “my accepting part,” “my compassionate part," “my healthy coach,” and so on. Choose a name that fits the client’s self-concept (i.e.,

Task B Case Study Jenna should encourage her customer to follow their beliefs whether she likes them or not. She should not have an opinion on a customers beliefs that the customer can pick up on.
The bottom line in this kind of assessment is to find out if the client would respond to more of an authoritarian approach or a gentle passive approach. There are other incites that are learned about the client here which help determine what kind of language it to be used wether that be colorful, flamboyant, descriptive, thought provoking and so on. Combinations of different choices of words and language are decided on the scoring system effectively tailoring the session for the individuals personality. I would agree that these steps are valuable in gaining the insite you need before venturing into a therapeutic session with a client. If PMR was attempted without any kind of background research on the client the outcome would most likely be unsuccessful or contrived.
The client may also come to the sessions having drawn up their own plans for progressing. This shows that the client is ready for change and is being much more assertive with their counsellor. A client counsellor session can also start to become quite stagnant. No further development would show that something is amiss. This is usually as a result of the client needing to gain more from their sessions rather than continually going over the same issues.
