Study Notes
Overview of Different Counselling Approaches and Skills
- Psychodynamic counselling originated from Sigmund Freud's work and uses the method of free association.
- The main assumption of psychodynamic approaches is that childhood experiences shape adult personality, often unconsciously.
- Psychodynamic approaches also focus on the unconscious and subconscious, which can control behaviour without conscious awareness.
- The concept of transference, where past relationships are unconsciously transferred onto present ones, is central to psychodynamic therapy.
- Cognitive-behavioural approaches, such as Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive-behavioural Therapy, focus on identifying and changing negative thought patterns.
- The A B C model is used in cognitive-behavioural therapy to demonstrate how thoughts about a situation, rather than the situation itself, can cause emotional and behavioural problems.
- Humanistic approaches, such as Person-Centred Counselling, prioritize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence in the therapist-client relationship.
- Other non-verbal humanistic therapies include play therapy, sandplay therapy, dance movement therapy, art therapy, and music therapy.
- Active listening skills, such as reflection and questioning, are essential in counselling.
- Reflection involves paraphrasing or offering back feelings/emotions to show the person they have been heard accurately.
- Closed questions can be answered with a single word or phrase and are usually avoided in counselling.
- Open questions encourage the other person to think, reflect, and share feelings, allowing the client to lead the conversation.
