Defining counselling skills & definition.
The definition from the BACP is:-
A certain type of helping activity in which one person (the helper) respects the value, resources & capacity for self opportunity for them (the client) to work towards living in more satisfying and resourceful ways.
‘Also counselling (helping) is an activity freely entered into by the person seeking help, it offers the opportunity to identify things for the client themselves. It is clearly & explicitly contracted, and the boundaries of the relationship identified. The activity is designed to help with self exploration and understanding. The process should identify thought, emotion & behaviour. Giving the client a great sense of personal awareness & to make determined change.’ (ref A)
