, Question 1
The behaviour that the counsellor uses in line 12 that could be threatening to the person-
centred counselling process approach is praising and reassuring. I believe that by the
counsellor saying “Good for you Nomsa” may be perceived as patronising and as explained
in the study guide for this module (2009, p. 65) it is not conducive within the person centred
approach as at is aimed at the client not looking to others for judgements but creating their
own value system.
Question 2
The skill that the counsellor uses in lines 8 and 10 is Summarising. This skill is defined as
synthesising what has been communicated and highlight the main emotional and cognitive
themes (2009, p. 57 ). This provides focus for the session and be able to have a point to delve
deeper into with Nomsa.
Question 3
The communication that the counsellor uses in line 2 is Non-Verbal Communication. The
counsellor displays attentiveness through he’s bodily language by sitting across and leaning
forward to Nomsa.
Question 4
The ways in which a friendship relationship is different from a counselling relationship
according to the study guide (2009, p. 3) are:
1. A counselling relationship is based on trust and confidentiality whereas a friendship
relationship may not necessarily be based on trust and confidentiality, although one
would hope that it is.
2. A counselling relationship is established within and developed from a goal-directed
interaction between counsellor and client. This is different to a friendship relationship
as it is spontaneous interaction and developed through mutual interests and social
involvement.
3. When the goals of a counselling relationship have been achieved the relationship is
terminated whereas a friendship relationship continues willingly and indefinitely.
