Immediacy
Giving the client your full attention - what
they say or do; valuing the clients as worthy
individuals; being comfortable with silence
during the counseling sessions; allowing the
client a sense of control over the pacing of
the session.
Attending Skills
Listening and giving accurate feedback. Repeating the concise version of the
narratives of the client back to them ensure that the client feels that they are being
listened to.
Reflecting and Paraphrasing
To have the meaning of the narratives shared
by the client be best understood according
to the meaning and their interpretation;
questions should be asked in a neutral and
non-leading way.
Clarifying and use of questions
Is prioritizing which concerns the client
wants to address first as a matter of criticality.
Focusing
Establishing a sense of connection with the
client to facilitate a professional helping
relationship.
Building Rapport
Reducing the most essential points to a
shorter form.
Summarizing
focusing attention on the here and now
relationship of the counselor and the client
with helpful timing; the counselor reveals
how they are feeling in response to the client.
Immediacy
Is a face-to-face meeting
between two or more persons, directed towards a purpose, such as
to obtain information, to give instructions, and to help. (Mendoza)
