Core Counselling Skills

• Active Listening: Fully focusing on the client’s words, tone, and emotions to understand their perspective.
• Empathy: Feeling and communicating understanding of a client’s emotions without judgment.
• Questioning Techniques: Using open-ended questions to explore deeper issues.
• Rapport Building: Creating trust and comfort through warmth and authenticity.

Essential Counselling Techniques

Different counselling models use techniques suited to client needs, such as:

• Cognitive Behavioral Techniques – Restructuring unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
• Motivational Interviewing – Encouraging self-driven change through empathy and collaboration.
• Gestalt Therapy – Focusing on present awareness and responsibility.
• Transactional Analysis – Understanding communication patterns and ego states.

The Power of Listening

Listening is more than hearing words — it is about understanding the emotions beneath them. True listening allows clients to feel valued, heard, and accepted. This forms the foundation of healing and self-discovery in counselling.
