Client-Directed Counseling
How Anyone Can Learn to Encourage Better Thinking
Wednesday, May 06, 2020, 10am EDT
Event Overview
We all counsel others, whether we’re health and wellness professionals, supervisors, or just close friends or relatives. Learning effective client-directed counseling skills can be useful for all of us, not just the professionals. By focusing on the needs of the individual — be it your partner, employee, client, or patient — you can help them bring about their best thinking and encourage them in setting and reaching their goals. Although not intuitive, client-directed counseling skills can be learned and utilized by anyone. Whether you are a financial counselor, wellness counselor, or anything in between, learning the differences between traditional and client-directed counseling can help you help others.
What You'll Learn
- The benefits of client-directed counseling and how it differs from traditional counseling
- How to identify techniques for self-management during a counseling session
- At least two techniques that result in more successful, lasting outcomes
- Counseling tips and tricks that can be utilized right away and by anyone
