K/601/7629 4 Understand the importance of supervision in counseling. 4.1 Explain why both casework and managerial supervision are important for a trainee and a qualified counselor Supervision is important for both trainee and fully qualified counselor for many reasons which can be covered broadly as educative and formative.This means learning and developing the skills required to become an effective counselor and being able to recognise and understand the capabilities of trainee or supervisor by exploration and reflection on work with clients.The supervisor can be effective when supporting and challenging the student in their work with clients,to look at the students awareness of themselves and of their own responses and reactions with clients as well as other variables such as power sharing which can all affect the process. Another important factor is the supportive or restorative purpose of supervision. One simple way to described this is how both student and qualified counselor react and work when issues come up by way of transference.For instance wanting to rescue a client who discuses hugely distressing emotional issues that may resonate due to shared experiences. A further element is the managerial or normative aspect of supervision and this could explained to some extent as maintaining standards.An awareness of the need to keep up with CPD, personal blind spots and prejudices that affect the the way how both trainee and counselor look at themselves which in turn influence how they see others and the way how they work, so the requirement to contiunaly learn about oneself increases knowledge and understanding which is vitaly important for personal development and growth that will enevitbly enhance thier work with clients.
The therapist establishes control over the client; the suggestions to be embedded into the subconscious are given as a set of repeated commands. It is possible to identify if a client will respond well to this approach by analysing their responses to your questions. (3) “…the subjects who are most responsive to the authoritarian technique are those who have a great respect for, and respond well to authoritarian figures in daily life … as opposed to those who are highly imaginative or creative.” [Hypnosis for Change. Hadley & Staudacher. 1996 Pg 27] The type of people who generally fit in to this category are those who either are, or respond well to, people such as teachers, police officers or
Essay title: “A personalised induction will always be more effective”. Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the merits of a personalised induction. In order to do this I will aim to demonstrate that the personalised induction is always more effective, in order to prove this hypothesis will need to consider the modalities in which we work along with different styles both authoritarian and permissive and the efficacy in each type of induction. When undertaking hypnosis as a therapist it is usually because the client has come to you for the purpose of some kind of therapeutic were. In order to achieve this the client needs to achieve a hypnotic state and therefore an induction is required to ensure that the subject is sufficiently relaxed to allow the therapist and client access to the subconscious mind in order for therapy to take place.
Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? The initial consultation is probably one of the most fundamental aspects of any therapy with hypnotherapy being no exception. Everything from building a rapport with the client to the eventual success of the therapy has a basis in the first meeting between client and therapist. The client’s decision to remain engaged with the therapeutic process will be determined by factors from this early stage.
This is of particular importance in Hypnotherapy, in which the value of the treatment is greatly enhanced when there is confidence in the practitioner. For this reason it is recommended that a single session only is initially booked, leaving the client subsequently free to decide if they wish to proceed with
The job of a good therapist is to help the patient emerge from the cocoon of subjectivity to cope better with the real world. Initial consultation and the subsequent sessions that follow give insight into human nature and sometimes the obscure reasons which may cause it. In this essay we go into the details of the very first consultation and its importance as the initial groundwork to a successful outcome. The initial consultation is of vital importance in hypnotherapy as it forms the stepping stone for the introduction between the therapist and the client. It is the first meeting when the client is assessed thoroughly and all necessary information is accumulated, that complies with the requirements of an effective and ethical hypnotic therapy
Personalised inductions are more effective as they treat each person as an individual, in order to do this you need to assess the client, it is important that you have to try to find the most effective way to communicate with your client so that they get the most benefit from the session, in order to do this you need to take into account the clients modalities, explained below. Modalities Any human sense can be translated to a modality. In practice, the modalities of seeing and hearing are the most commonly employed. The following are modalities through which the computer can send information to the
A personalised Induction will always be more effective – Discuss Personally, I think that the title of this essay is true, for many different reasons. As a good hypnotherapist, it is important to find the best way to communicate with your client, to enable them to get the most positive experience and most effective results possible. Surely it is better to take an individual’s preferences into account, it will be much more detailed and take into account the clients likes and dislikes, thus giving more effective results and as hypnosis is very much about getting the client into a relaxed state it makes sense to focus on their preferred modality. I am going to look at the different modalities of individuals, also whether they fit the ‘Authoritarian
For this reason, I believe it is essential to respect and allow clients the right to choose and make their own decisions. In my view, being empathic is a key component to building rapport with the client. It is of great importance to be able to really understand and feel what the client is experiencing from his/her subjective world. This kind of understanding ensures that the client is being understood and his/her experience is acknowledged, and the counsellor is staying within the client’s internal frame of reference. I believe being non-judgmental and accepting is perhaps the most important part of the counselling process, because in my opinion, these principles promote self-worth and self-esteem which are all an essential part of a client’s personal
Why is the initial consultation so important? A client can feel a lot of anxiety and mixed emotions when they come for their initial consultation. During this essay I am going to discuss why the initial consultation is so important and the factors an ethical therapist will cover at the time of the first consultation. The hypnotherapy society says that “all clients are entitled to a good standard of care from their practitioners in Hypnotherapy”. They say that “good standards of practice and care require professional competence, good relationships with the clients and colleague, and commitment”.
