The Fundamental Counselling Winnipeg Techniques

By Josephine Pennington


Counsellors actually have quite a tiring job because they will be drained by all of the negative energy that most of their clients would be bringing into the office everyday. However, there are a few people who can actually take the ins and outs of counselling winnipeg as they enjoy helping others out. So if one would want to actually enter this kind of profession, then there are things that he has to know about.

Now one of the essential things that one would have to do if he would go into this profession is know how to listen to anyone who comes in. This is actually where a technique known as active listening would come in because this is a technique that would build rapport with clients. Now for those who do not know, active listening is using body language to be able to build rapport with a client while listening.

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.

Of course gaining rapport and listening is only the first part of the process but it is a start. The very next step of the process is now to ask questions so that one will know how he can really be of help to his clients. Now questions are there so that the counsellors can get to know the problem of his clients better.

Now if one would want to do this, then he would have to take note of the two questioning techniques which would be asking open ended questions and close ended ones. Now the close ended ones are usually answered easily with a yes or no. Now this is a quick way to be able to know what is in the mind of a client.

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.

Now the next part is one of the most crucial parts because it is the part wherein counsellors have to watch out. This would be the advice giving part and counsellors have to be careful how they present advice. They have to make sure that they are not forceful when giving advice or else it will not turn out well.

So as one can see, there are actually a lot of techniques that one can add into his arsenal. Now in this kind of profession, these are the fundamental techniques that have to be used when dealing with clients. Of course it is better to know about these techniques before going into the field so that one can already be prepared with his arsenal.
