Answer the 6 Advanced Questions

Answers and explanations will appear only after you click Submit Quiz.

1) During a first session, a client avoids eye contact and turns slightly away while discussing a painful family issue. How should a counsellor apply SOLER most professionally?

The counsellor wants to show presence, but the client appears uncomfortable with direct eye contact and close body orientation.

2) A client arrives highly irritable, says he skipped lunch, slept only three hours and feels nobody supports him. What is the best use of HALT in this moment?

The client wants to discuss a major career decision, but his physical and emotional state appears dysregulated.

3) A client asks the counsellor to guarantee that counselling alone will stop his panic attacks and also asks for medication advice. What is the best professional response?

The counsellor is trained in basic counselling skills but is not a psychiatrist or medical doctor.

4) A counsellor notices before a session that he is exhausted, hungry and irritated after a difficult day. What is the most ethical self-management step?

The next client is expected to discuss a sensitive relationship crisis that requires patience and careful listening.

5) A client says, “Everyone says I am overreacting, but I feel broken.” Which response best combines SOLER with core counselling empathy?

The client watches the counsellor carefully, as if expecting criticism or dismissal.

6) A client reports frequent panic, poor sleep, hopelessness and says, “I am scared of what I may do when I am alone.” What is the best counselling priority?

The client is not clearly stating a plan, but the words indicate possible safety risk and need for careful assessment.
