Counselling/ counselling ideas may help to cope with the challenges of ‘change’ ‘The more I am willing to be myself in all this complexity of life […] the more I am willing to understand and accept the realities in myself and in the other person […]” Rogers (1961). In order to tackle changes in a client’s life, it is important for the counsellor themselves to be self-aware and have an understanding of others’ values, beliefs and attitudes although they may conflict with their own. The counsellor is there to help the client adapt to these changes, helping clients to push out old information and take in new- this however is also an aspect of change which the counsellor has to help the client pursue whilst keeping ethical and professional boundaries. Changes are accompanied by strong emotions, both negative and positive and counselling is able to support the transition from one state to another. When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004).

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
First, it involves multiple family members, second, it deals with extremely sensitive information, and third it is conducted in conjunction with therapy. The ethical approach of marriage, couple, and family therapy often goes back to nonmaleficence or to do no harm to the client This goes the same for research in this field. It is very important that the clients who are participating in the therapy are not harmed or at risk by the therapist. One way you can avoid this situation is to obtain the proper consent from the clients.

Lawrence Crabb claims that the goal of counseling should be psychological and spiritual maturity. Counselors should also seek to assist their clients in reaching their full potential for a life of service. He explains that this accomplished through the counseling relationship. This relationship will vary from client to client. Despite the variations amongst all individuals, Crabb believed that it is important to “abstract a game plan” (Crabb, 1986, p.149) which can be applied to a wide range of situations.

What role does mediation have in counselling? People seek help from counselling and mediation for similar reasons and defining the difference between them both is important for the sessions to move as smoothly as possible and gives a clear understanding to the clients or parties involved. In counselling the focus is generally on change at an emotional and behavioral level, whereas mediation is not generally entered into to change something about themselves or their relationship but to resolve a dispute and reach a settlement (Lidchi, 2003). This essay will look at what role mediation may have in counselling, what skills may overlap and how mediation and counselling differ. Mediation is based more on gathering information to find the parties common interests, to negotiate the needs and then come to a mutual agreement, whereas counselling looks at the person, their perceptions and feelings to bring about self-exploration and change.
