During counselling, so many things come in stages. Each of these stages is important for both you and the client.
The main points are-
Stages within your counselling sessions allow you to manage how you allocate your time.
The stages in counselling give clients a structure they can understand and work with.
Beginning - contract, the client knowing what they're getting.
Middle - putting your skills into practice, listening to the client, allowing them to share freely.
End - winding down the session, recapping, avoiding an abrupt end.
The beginning with a new client is all about building that therapeutic relationship and trust - making sure the client feels heard.
By looking out for changes in your client you can identify what stage you’re in - is their body language becoming more comfortable? Are they speaking more freely?
Address when your time with a client may be coming to an end - if you see improvements and positive change.
Keep track of what stage the client is in, and practice accordingly.
