Counseling Session in the Form of a Dialogue
Every counseling process involves exchange of information and shows the clients that the counselor cares about them. The counseling process should include both aspects of emotions and facts. Therefore how the counselor talks and listens is just as important as what he says. The ultimate goal of a counselor is to provide an appropriate solution to the clients and to satisfy them. Every counseling session is a setting where two lives intersect. The key to successfully work towards a common goal is about showing respect and interest in learning about one another. This essay is based on a counseling session in the form of a dialogue between me and my client.
Counseling Session in the Form of a Dialogue
Listening is a skill that requires continuous practice. Counseling sessions are based on hearing and understanding the clients. Professional counselors are good listeners and they exercise some skills such as they are attentive, concentrate on the client, don't interrupt, reflect feelings, give nonverbal feedback and summarize the problem. The purpose of writing this essay is to come up with an effective one time counseling session in the form of dialogue and to pin point the emotions and issues of my client of which she is not aware.
The Counseling Session with a Pretty Girl
"Mrs. Smith, how many clients are left in the waiting room?" I asked my P.A on the phone. "Just one, should I send her in?" she questioned me back. "Yes, yes, send her in my room immediately." After a minute I saw a pretty girl standing near the door of my room.

I asked her with a smile, as I had realized that she is scared while interacting with me. "Jennet, My name is Jennet Paul." Very slowly she spoke her name; I felt she was nervous and immediately I made my mind that this counseling session would take long. "Wow! That's a lovely name! So Jennet would like to have a cup of tea or coffee with some yummy chocolate cookies? See it is almost 6pm and I would like to enjoy this lovely weather while having a cup of tea or coffee with you; and then we can discuss your problem as well. What you say?" I opened the blinds of my window, the view was good outside and I thought this would make Jennet feel comfortable.
"Yes, I would like to have a cup coffee with you." Jennet replied in a clear voice. Her facial expressions seemed a little better than before. "Good!" I smiled back to her and asked Ms. Smith on the phone to bring two cups of coffee with chocolate cookies after ten minutes. During my conversation with Ms. Smith I observed that Jennet was rubbing her hands as if she was preparing herself for the counseling session. May be she did not realize that the counseling session had already begun.
"Yes Jennet, can be begin now?" I tried to be polite as much as possible. "Yeah sure"; she was ready to speak now. "Actually I am student of geology and I am 21 years old.
