Counselling as process of self-realization for the counsellee Counsellor as facilitator, enabler and empathizer
Confidentiality
Narrative Imagination
Trust
However…
These are only some best-practices/ experiences/ theories that are suggestive and not definitive or exhaustive aspects.
We learn when we think, read and listen – we unlearn and relearn when we do!
Therefore, if one has to develop counselling skills – start thinking and doing it.
Be respectful, humble, confident, fallible, ready to learn and compassionate – cultivate narrative imagination and reflexivity.
Have your own Counsellor – even counsellors need counselling
Way forward…
How many are serious in continuing? Do it if you are passionate, reflect.
