    Drawing on Padesky and Greenberger (1995, p.27-28), accurate diagnosis and case conceptualisation, here referred to as case formulation, are indispensable for outlining a successful treatment plan and establishing continuous treatment progress. The aim of case formulation is to outline the client’s problems in a coherent and logical manner, while providing shared guidelines for therapy, which can be as individualised as necessary depending on the client’s unique requirements (Westbrook, Kennerley and Kirk, 2011, p.63-97). Even though not all factors were addressed during this session, the case formulation used for this counselling session consists of cognitive, behavioural, emotional, environmental, socio-cultural, phys...

Our culture is to help people with mental issues to learn from their problems. Therefore, we have to have patience, compassion and believe whole-heartedly in honesty.

  • Developing a Therapeutic Counseling Relationship

    1098 Words  | 3 Pages

    Understanding the counseling session from the client’s perspective is a very important aspect in the development of a therapeutic relationship. A clinician must be an excellent listener, while being to pay attention to the client’s body language, affect and tone. The dynamics in the counseling session that is beneficial to the client include the recognition of the pain that the client is feeling. The detrimental part of this includes a misunderstanding of the real issues, a lack of consideration of the cultural aspects of the client, and a lack of clinical experience or listening skills. In this presentation, we will discuss the positive and negative aspects of the counseling session from the client’s perspective which includes the client’s attitudes, feelings, and emotions of the counseling session. We will next examine the propensity of the client to reveal or not reveal information to the counselor, and how transference, and counter-transference can have an effect on the counselor-client relationship.

    These tools are helpful in framing my practice into interventions that are evidenced based and effective.

It also keeps me honestly engaged in intentional and active listening to the patient. I am always looking to them for cues on ways to join them on their journey. Listening to my patient from a person-centered perspective cures my need to solve everything for the patient. Many of them have the solutions and we are partners in discovering the road to those solutions. Even when a patient may be full of despair and feeling low, they continually express that they are more than a diagnosis. They are a person who has many influences that may greatly impact their illness experience. As their therapist, my role is to respect their desires and goals, and help them maintain optimal functioning in this

The approach that I found to be the most interesting is the existential approach. “The existential perspective holds that we define ourselves by our choices” (Corey & Corey, 2014, p.114).
