‘What happens in a counselling session?’ This is a major question facing anyone considering counselling. Many people think that the psychologist or counsellor will have superior knowledge or ability to advise them on how to live their life. Others think that advice or direction will be offered which is preferable and superior to what they think.
The reality is that counsellors are trained to skillfully facilitate people to become more aware of what is happening in their lives, to see how they are creating their experiences, to evaluate the options they face and to anticipate the consequences of their actions. It is through their actual relationship, that the counsellor guides the client to experience doing things differently and test out things that seem threatening or difficult to face with other people. Skills and the ability to handle the anxiety of change can be tested out in counselling sessions and used with greater confidence with others in everyday life.
