PURPOSE OF COUNSELLING AND ROLE
OF THE COUNSELLOR
The goal of behavioural counselling is for the counsellor
and the client to mutually agree on counselling goals.
The main emphasis in counselling would be to see and
observe a change in behaviour, and such desired
change is documented in a form of a contract.
Goals are stated in terms of specific behaviour change
that can be measured and can be reasonably achieved
by clients.
In other words, the client will get involved in deciding on
what to change and how to change.
COUNSELLING TECHNIQUES
Counselling techniques are based on the
various principles of learning proposed
in the behavioural approach. Using operant
conditioning principles, undesirable
behaviour may be decreased or eliminated
through using reinforcement or punishment,
either operated by clients themselves, or by
significant others in the
clients environment.
COUNSELLING TECHNIQUES
The counsellor will use shaping techniques, where the
target skill is broken down into smaller, achievable units
so that clients can accomplish one small change at a
time until they acquire the whole new behaviour.
Rehearsal is a major technique for clients to practice
new behaviour.
Using classical conditioning principles where fear or
phobia has been acquired, a technique called
systematic desensitisation can be applied. In this
technique, instead of feeling fear or anxiety about an
object, person or animal, the client is taught to feel
relaxed and calm at various small steps approaching the
main feared figure
COUNSELLING TECHNIQUES
Modelling is another technique where
clients observe a model demonstrating the
desired behaviour. The model can be
the counsellor, a peer or a family member.
