Example text
Anything less and Derek would have been quite justified in questioning William’s sincerity. Admitting that we do not understand what the client is saying, or cannot identify the feelings, or something is unclear, is being genuine. It certainly does not mean that we lose face; in fact, it produces the opposite effect. Admitting that we are not perfect will enhance the relationship; it makes us real people, not cardboard cut-outs of some idealised counsellor. Showing non-possessive warmth Non-possessive warmth is genuine.
It means having the ability to perceive the client’s world as the client sees it – to grasp it from their frame of reference, and being able to communicate that understanding tentatively and sensitively. Demonstrating empathy means: X being able to step into the client’s shoes, and being able to step out again; X being able to stand back far enough to remain objective, rather than standing too close and risk becoming enmeshed in the client’s world; X being close to, yet remaining separate from – it doesn’t mean we become the other person.
Conveying warmth We convey warmth by: X body language – posture, proximity, personal space, facial expressions, eye contact; X words and the way we speak: tone of voice, delivery, rate of speech; Exploring Essential Counsellor Qualities 29 X all the indicators of warmth – the non-verbal parts of speech and body; X language must be in agreement with the words used; any discrepancy between the words and how we deliver them will cause confusion in the other person. Warmth, like a hot water bottle, must be used with great care.
