The skills of counseling. Methods for creating action and change

Description

Matt Englar-Carlson interviews Katherine Helm on methods to create action and change when working with clients. Katherine uses a client-centered approach, where the client is in charge of change, and the counselor provides support, empathy and understanding. Katherine works with several different clients and demonstrates a variety of action and change methods such as "stopping something with starting something" where the client wants to stop a behavior and is encouraged to pick up a new healthy behavior in its place. Katherine also uses scaling questions to see how committed a client is to change, as well as role play to help a client gain confidence with change. In addition, Katherine demonstrates how to work with a client who is resistant to change and how to explore that resistance, including the use of paradoxical intention. Following each vignette, Matt and Katherine discuss and debrief, allowing the viewer to gain greater insight into katherine's process in working with her clients.
