1COUNSELLING PRACTICE Reflection: As my experience I understood that being a counsellor is one of the toughest part in a psychology centre because you experience a lot of situations of improbability and anxiety with the client. The counsellor becomes as helpless as the client, because of this constant pressure of a better performance and to achieve an effective outcome. The practice does not get easier as I observed that the more I learn, the more skills I eagerly want to apply to the counselling session. But it is also very overwhelming some times when you observe an effective outcome of the sessions provided to the client and you see improvement in the client. I say this moment is indescribable because for everyone it’s presented differently. I’ve had various motivation and demotivation experiences as being a counsellor in my practice. We were taught about various strategies and processes in order to provide a better service to the client. One of them is the Person Centred relationship between the client and the counsellor (McMahon & Rodillas, 2018). The aims of the process id to build a better therapeutic relationship with the client in order to understand and make the client comfortable enough so that he shares his difficulties and issue to the counsellor. The practise has helped me in understanding the client and to implement a better strategy to manage and overcome the issues the client in facing. Also active response was one of the major factors that I observed in my experience, as a counsellor you need to be active enough to take up the information and instantly react to it that might help the client. As a counsellor it becomes your responsibility to provide a better care plan and session which must show a life changing result for the client (Bor, & Eriksen, 2019).
