Counselling thus results in free and responsible behaviour on the part of the client, accompanied by more insight into themselves and an ability to understand and better manage negative emotions.
Counselling entails ‘Initial Disclosure’, where the client starts opening up only after s/he develops faith and trust in the counsellor. Once, the client opens up, there has to be ‘In Depth Exploration’ of the problem area and other secondary concerns regarding it. Once a new window of thought/insight is opened up, the counsellor encourages the client for ‘Commitment to Action’ for long-term and concrete positive change.
