The Fundamental Counselling Winnipeg Techniques

By Josephine Pennington


Counselling is actually not an easy job as everyone thinks because it is where one would have to deal with different kinds of people who have different mindsets. Dealing and helping these people can actually get tiring because one would have to veer people into fulfilling their potential. However, there are those who believe that counselling winnipeg and helping people is their calling so they still go for it anyway.

Now when it comes to this profession, one has to be good at listening because it is the only way to get to know the problem of the client. Now counsellors have to do something that is known as active listening which is a technique that encourages them to speak further. Basically, a counsellor will be using body language to show that he is interested in what the client has to say.

Now while actively listening to the client, a counsellor has to know a technique known as reflection. Now reflection is actually a technique that would allow the counsellor to establish a better and more open relationship with his client. This technique is simply done by mirroring what the client is saying but in a whole new different way.

Now this is the defensive ploy of the counsellor but then there would also have to be an offensive move as well. Now for helping people, one has to not only gain rapport and listen, but he also has to ask questions well too. Questions will be able to help the counsellor get a better grasp of the client and will allow him to help the client further.

Now when one would do questioning, he has to take note of the two kinds of questions that he may use namely open ended ones and close ended ones. Now the close ones are the ones wherein one can just answer with one word which is either yes or no. This is used if counsellors would want to get a quick answer right away,

Of course aside from that, there also are open ended questions which would require a bit more explanation. This is the type of question that has a rather long answer and not a yes or no answer. Of course this is only done if one would want to know the depths of the mind of his client.

Of course if one is already done with asking questions, then he would have to give some advice. Now one should never ever pressure another person into taking a piece of advice because it will make things worse. Counsellors should just know how to guide their clients to the suitable decision.

So basically, those are some of the things that one would do if he would enter this kind of profession. Now these are actually some techniques that people in this field would do. It would definitely help one if he would study some of these techniques before he would actually go into the field because he has to be prepared otherwise he will not be able to take on his clients.
