Introduction
In the realm of counseling and psychotherapy, effective interventions often hinge upon
the utilization of appropriate clinical tools tailored to the unique needs of each client. One such
tool, Motivational Interviewing (MI), has garnered attention for its person-centered approach and
efficacy in fostering behavior change. This paper explores a mock counseling session wherein

for the case, and supporting research, this paper aims to elucidate the significance of MI in
facilitating positive therapeutic outcomes for individuals experiencing challenges such as self-
harm and bullying.
Client case description
Shu, a 16-year-old high school student, enters the counseling session with a palpable air

primarily stemming from their socio-economic status. Shu discloses the profound impact of this

and longing for reprieve from the relentless torment of bullying. The counselor, attuned to the
gravity of Shu's experiences, navigates the delicate terrain with empathy and compassion,
