This assignment presents a self-critique of a recorded counselling session involving a male client named Jaun, who is experiencing marital issues and feelings of guilt. The analysis focuses on the therapist's use of micro-counselling skills, such as active listening, minimal responses, and reframing, as well as the establishment of rapport. The critique highlights both effective techniques and areas for improvement, such as the use of empathic responses and avoiding premature questioning. The assignment references various counselling theories and resources to support the analysis, including the importance of empathy, congruence, and acceptance in building a therapeutic relationship. The session transcript is provided with the therapist's commentary on the skills used. The assignment concludes with a reflection on how the therapist's responses could be adjusted to better support the client and achieve the desired therapeutic outcomes, and the importance of self-awareness in the counselling process.
