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).
I also enjoy helping others and giving advice, making people feel good about themselves and making sure they are heading in the right direction. My father works in the health care sector and he talks to me in a certain way sometimes where we can communicate on the same level like he would do with his service users at work. This made me think about how I would love to progress into a career in counselling. I am able to carry out independent research and write reports summarising my findings. I have learned to look at evidence carefully and analyse a range of data.
We have to be able to share our experiences and mistakes so as we can learn from each other. To be able to care for the child we must not only build a relationship with them but also with their parents / carers and others in their family, we have to be able to maintain this relationship as well, this can be done daily by simple gestures such as waving hand for hello or goodbye, listening and taking interest in what the child or others have to say. Through communication we are able to reassure and comfort each other, express what our needs are and help others with their needs, guide each other and try to help resolve conflicts or disagreements. Through communication we can show our love for one another. 2.
3.3 Help children and young people to understand and respect other people’s feelings and points of view. Children and young people need to learn to understand and respect the feelings, emotions and behaviours of others to help them gain an understanding about their actions and consequences. Young children might find this difficult as their understanding will not be as developed enough for them to put themselves in the position of others, but as children grow and learn they gain a greater experience of this and often older pupils will enjoy opportunities to debate and discuss different points of view in lesson time and in social situations. We often speak to them in school about thinking of the consequences of their actions and how they might have affected others. Ways in which my workplace helps young people to consider others feelings * Books, stories, magazines, literacy reading times and interaction through reading.
Once identified the teacher can lessen the potential problem by taking steps to ensure the entire class feel connected to one another. By assigning group activities and rotating seat arrangements educators can improve the children’s relationship with one another. Also, when an issue of conflict or unusual behavior causes a social stigma teachers can help both parties understand each other’s perspective. Using social circles to encouraging inclusion and compassion can greatly improve the quality of education all of the children
1.4, 7.4 The benefits to working in a diverse workforce is that it gives me confidence to talk to people that are different age, gender, race, religion etc. I can learn things that I previously wouldn’t be able to do if we were all the exact same.

Listening to children is an important part in a relationship with children. If a child has any worries or concerns they should be able to talk to the practitioner because if the practitioner isn’t approachable the child may be suffering and feel they have no one to
Valuing colleagues expertise is essential because everyone has different experiences so there is always something new you can learn from other people in life. Open communication gains trust, respect and also makes for a better learning environment. Communication also helps, if you start to ‘gossip’ others may not be open to this, but also because some ‘gossip’ get lost in translation. If you respect others then they will then respect you, making the environment you work in a nicer place to be. You won’t go too far wrong in life if you always treat others the way you expect to be
