The first verbalisation is the first step to successfully resolving an issue. Admitting to someone else that you want to be helped is a terrific, bold and courageous step. The therapist gaining the client’s initial trust is vital. The therapist needs to be friendly, professional, empathetic and reassuring. The therapist should not be drawn in to having that all-important Initial consultation over the phone; it is important that the therapist sees the client’s body language in response to their questions.
A/601/7635 Research Methodologies in counselling 1. Understand the purposes of research in counselling 2.1 Explain the importance of research for the counsellor. I believe that the main importance of research for the counsellor is that it makes a massive contribution to the quality of service that a counsellor can offer their clients. By continually staying up date on new research that is available a counsellor is able to gain new knowledge and expertise that can improve and enhance their practise. Counselling is seen as a fairly isolated profession, this highlights the need to share research and to create an open book attitude for the practise of counselling.
“Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time?” 2023 Our personality and belief system is shaped from when we are born as we experience different things; learning things that our subconscious has stored as being necessary for our survival. If we have a negative concept of ourselves it’s the hypnotherapists job to find out as much information about the client as possible, therefore reprogramming a positive concept into the clients subconscious by using positive suggestions, this is why an initial consultation is so important. During this essay I am going to be describing and discussing “why the initial consultation so important and what factors an ethical therapist will cover at this time?” The initial consultation usually lasts for half an hour and gives the client the opportunity to meet the therapist in person and are ‘able to assess their suitability for your expertise’ (chrysalis pg15). It can help determine whether the client feels comfortable discussing and disclosing information with the therapist.
Also, an effective counselor implements compatibility and belief in their theory, along with competence and cognitive complexity in their theoretical approach (Neukrug, 2014). The nine characteristics are deeply intertwined into two common factors that result in a positive outcome in therapy (Neukrug, 2014). A strong working alliance and the theoretical approach of the counselor are essential when determining the effectiveness of counseling. Although, the counselor play a big role in the effectiveness of counseling the client as a responsibility as well when it comes to the attributes contributed to the outcome of treatment. The client must be ready for change, have psychological resources and social support in order to ensure a positive outcome in counseling (Neukrug, 2014).
Introduction All reputable therapists will offer an initial consultation. This gives the therapist the opportunity to get to know the client and build up a rapport with them. It is the time when the therapist can gain the information needed to successfully treat the client, both current issues and circumstances and past issues if necessary. The therapist will also ascertain whether they have the competence to successfully treat the client. Hypnotherapists and counsellors are professional people, they belong to professional bodies such as the Hypnotherapy Society and the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and the professions have to seek a professional and ethical reputation, not only for the client but also for the
Linda Potter A Personalised Induction Will Always Be More Effective Discuss This essay will explore the statement in the title that a personalised induction will always be more effective when used in the context of a Hypnotherapy session between Therapist and client. I will explore within this essay my own personal belief that personalising an induction is vitally important for the client. My reason for this belief is that I believe each person is unique and different in their own way. Therefore it is imperative to treat each person in an holistic or all round way. I will also discuss modalities, or the process that occurs when the brain receives information from our senses and how this represents itself internally.
I further believe that my patients should be informed about their illness regardless of what the condition or injury is. The patient should be provided with proper patient education about the illness that includes how to take care for the illness – its process, medications, and how to manage their daily life. The success of the patient’s recovery process could very well depend on the knowledge received. Patient teaching can be the key to teaching patients how to live a long productive
Unit 2 Module 3 3.1 The building of a rapport is often considered one of the most important aspects of a Hypnotherapists work, it is during this initial period of assessment and information gathering that the therapist beings to build a rapport with the client, building a rapport is the key to success, it is important to remember that first impressions count, it is when the client looks to the therapist to be the professional, the one who knows what they are doing, who is knowledgeable. This is the time to allay the fear of the client and to put them at ease without being to over baring, authoritative or clinical in your approach. The way you present yourself in those first few moments will count, everyone will make assumptions in those first few seconds of meeting someone, you as a therapist and they as the client, will use deductive logic based on appearance in the first instance at your/their presentation and
Unit 1 Developing Counselling Skills Assignment 1 1.1 In this assignment I am going to demonstrate my understanding of working safely and ethically. Code of practice and ethical concerns. BACP provides a platform for counsellors and shows the rules and principles that they should follow and how you as counsellor should use the BACP as a guideline and as like a “rule book”. Confidentiality is the most important in a counselling relationship. As the client may not have ever spoken about what they are about to speak about to the counsellor before.
They are also expected to manage patient care in a manner which promotes positive patient outcomes. This journal article is relevant to the role of a PMHNPs because it contributes to the professional practice and education of PMHNPs by offering evidence that PMNHPs can anticipate to transform themselves from a new graduate to a proficient and expert practitioner. The study can also assist faculty in evaluating program curriculum and outcomes. For example, a few of the responses in the study indicated that practicing PMHNPs believe that competency in psychotherapy took a while to accomplish. Faculty may refer to this finding when advocating for the needs of new graduates with future employers and mentors.
