Method
I understand counselling as a process of raising consciousness that involves three key parts: connection, clarification and collaboration.
​
The first part connection is what forms the foundation for the counselling process. When the counsellor and client build a good connection and establish trust, more honest exploration is enabled. This allows the client to more deeply understand both themselves and the challenge they are facing.
​
The next part is clarification. Clarification involves the client becoming more aware how they see feel and see things. As greater awareness is generated, insights arise and wisdom emerges.
​
The final piece is collaboration. This part refers to the client and counsellor working together to find solutions and ways forward. With a foundation of connection and clarification, the creative space opens up and the client and counsellor can collaborate on resolving the challenge facing the client.
