Rationale for the workshop
In order to provide effective counselling, it is important for the counsellor to possess an effective skill-set as well as a framework or strategy. Counselling skills such as active listening, empathy, challenging and exploration drive the counselling process forward, but having a strategy provides direction for the process. Reality therapy provides a simple and practical strategy for counselling, based on a developmental and strength-based view of people.
