The journal begins by defining SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Based) and their importance in counselling, emphasizing how they provide a structured approach to achieving therapeutic objectives. It then delves into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, explaining how it helps clients understand and modify their thoughts and behaviors to address mental health issues like anxiety and depression, and discusses various CBT techniques like rational emotive behavior therapy. Furthermore, the journal highlights the significance of active listening in counselling, describing its role in building rapport and understanding clients' perspectives. The assignment references relevant literature to support the discussed concepts.
