    1. Reflective skills in Counseling & Psychotherapy

    3. Example of Reflection Below is an example of reflection: Client: ‘I feel so angry’ Counselor: ‘so you’re angry about something then?’ Doing this shows the therapist is listening to the client, understanding him or her and is also a prompting (or encouragement) to continue.

    4. How do reflective skills work in Counseling & Psychotherapy? There are different reflective skills used to prompt a client. Reflective skills use the process of reflecting back the last few words, a particular phrase or a paraphrase of the last few words the client has used. Different names are given to different ways of reflecting back the clients words.

    5. Restatement The feature of the reflective skill is that it simply repeats (duplicates) the original statement of the client (including the pronoun) in the exact words of the client. An example of restatement: Client: ‘I said to him that we should take things slow but last night he came to my house and….. things started to happen…’ Counselor: ‘things started to happen..’’

    6. Paraphrasing Paraphrasing is an active listening technique as it proves to the client that you are fully engaged in the conversation. For example: Client:’ I know it doesn’t help my depression to sit around or stay in bed all day.’ Counsellor:’ it sounds like you know you should avoid staying in bed or sitting around all day to help your depression.’

    7. Client Centred Therapy

    8. Summarizing involves the counsellor repeating what they have heard from the client. It gives the client the opportunity to elaborate on what they have said. It may lead the client to taking back some of what they have said during the session.

    9. An example of summarising is: Client: ‘work makes me angry, I don’t get paid enough and I’m not appreciated…’ Counsellor: ‘so you’re angry because of work then?’ It gives the client the opportunity to elaborate on what they have said. It may lead the client to taking back some of what they have said during the session.
