One needs to consider the items given in Table 14.1 before and after every session. I would rate my current counseling skills by analyzing all the items- from introducing policies, ensuring confidentiality, establishing rapport, empathetic relationship with the client, gathering in-depth information about the client, and multicultural awareness. Hence, rate my current counseling skills as mediocre. My strengths are I’m able to establish an empathetic relationship with the client. The client feels more connected and shared an in-depth concern and thus establishing a good rapport with the client.
