1009). This indicates the complexity in managing bipolar disorder. Studies also show that psychotherapy is necessary to supplement and optimize the effects of medication (Steinkuller and Rheineck 338). Cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients manage the disorder by replacing negative behaviors with positive ones. Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342).
Sixes will fight for their beliefs or family and friends more so than they would for themselves. The reason for this intense loyalty is that at their core Sixes are insecure and have anxiety, so they don’t want to be abandoned and left without their support system (i.e. friends and family). When I am really true with myself I see that most of the characteristics of a Type 6 reflect my personality even the negative attributes. Some negative attributes ascribed to a Six that honestly reflect me are as follows: critical of self when expectations are not met, procrastinating due to fear of failure, worry about being taking advantage of, and always scanning for danger.

Analyse and evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of their preferred or natural style. I feel I use a humanistic approach to counselling, I feel my main practice is Person Centred and my core training is PCT based but during my work with child care and development I have also learned about other approaches such as Gestalt and Solution Focussed Therapy and find when appropriate these are useful to integrate into practice. I find Gestalt’s empty chair theory very helpful where a client has to consider what they could say to someone else and then explore what that person could say to them, being active and creative in their exploration can increase the client’s awareness and enable them to gain a better insight into possible outcomes, I also find this blends well when used with PCT. The use of buttons or marbles in therapy is also a useful integrative tool; it can be used where it would be helpful to the client to analyse and evaluate how they are placed within a given situation to represent themselves and/or others and gives a very graphic illustration of how moving one element of life can affect others. This technique can be integrated into many different counselling methods such as PCT, Solution Focussed Therapy and I have used it with a client who had anger issues and how their anger affected others around them, it can be used for further exploration, discussion, identification as well as enabling the client to use a differing media when they are struggling with an issue and the effects of change.

This list is endless as people have different are complex and the difficulties they are experiencing are also complex. Counseling provides a time and a place where we can take a long and honest look at whats distressing us, this is a place where we can explore our issues, raise our awareness, develop powers of self-reflection and feel encouraged to generate new understanding. With the help of a counselour we can find ways to accept and make peace with things we can’t change and make positive changes where we can.

‘Compare and contrast the different ways the person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches to counselling understand and make use of the counselling relationship’ This essay will compare and contrast two of the many approaches to counselling available today. Firstly, we will briefly consider what counselling is and the relationship between therapist and client. We will then go on to consider the similarities and differences between the person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches. We will see how these two methods are used within the counselling relationship and consider their aims and objectives. In conclusion we will see why it could be argued that the latter approach is the most useful for many clients.
