Reasoning: The unique aspects of Transformatory Counselling highlighted in the Transformative
Counselling Encounters study guide are:
— An orientation towards understanding purposeful encounters between
people through meaningful engagement in a counselling framework;
— A sensitivity towards the ethos (characteristics, tone and flavour) of context-
appropriate counselling and understanding its potential to enhance
humaneness and well-being in society;
— An understanding of reflexivity (awareness, adaptation) as a tool that can
enhance purposeful and meaningful engagement and become a tool
towards self-and social transformation; an understanding of the world as a
set of related systems and recognising that problem-solving contexts do not
exist in isolation, and;
— An understanding of the language of process and its potential to evoke a
deeper understanding of relational patterns and dynamics in counselling
processes.
It also creates an opportunity for the client to gain a deeper understanding of their
own potential to make a difference in their personal life.
Therefore, counselling involve a professional listening to the client and should
provide a safe, sympathetic, accepting environment in which a client can unburden
him/herself of problems and become better acquainted with their thoughts, feelings
and beliefs.
To come up with a new approach to an old problem, we often need to look at the
problem differently. Counsellors can assist a client to see his/her situation more
accurately (change perspective on the problem). It is through the use of these skill
that the counsellor and client form a partnership in finding solutions. It is
emphasised in Transformative counselling that the act of helping the client is to see
things more clearly, possibly from a different view-point and creates an opportunity
for the client to gain a deeper understanding of their own potential to make a
difference in their personal life. It therefore is not preferable to help the client only
