Judging the client can create a negative and non-supportive environment, hindering the client's progress and willingness to open up. A counsellor should maintain a non-judgmental attitude to foster trust and encourage the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely. This allows for a more effective therapeutic relationship and helps the client feel accepted and understood.

    Good, objective listening is the basis of all counseling because it allows the counselor to fully understand and empathize with the client's thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By actively listening without judgment or bias, the counselor can create a safe and supportive environment for the client to explore their emotions and gain insight into their problems. This type of listening helps to build trust and rapport, enabling the counselor to provide appropriate guidance and support to the client.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because it is not the responsibility of the counselor to maintain eye contact if the client avoids it. It is important for counselors to respect the client's boundaries and preferences. Some clients may feel uncomfortable with direct eye contact and it is not appropriate to force them into it. The counselor should create a safe and non-judgmental environment where the client feels comfortable expressing themselves in their own way.

    Listening skills include being specific and confronting inconsistencies in the client's story, which means actively paying attention to details and questioning any discrepancies in what the client is saying. Being concerned for the client is another important aspect of listening skills, as it involves showing empathy and understanding towards their emotions and experiences. Accepting the client for what they are means being non-judgmental and respecting their individuality, which is crucial for effective listening.
