When I meet
with a client for the first time I might ask, “Why are you here?” “Why now?”
“What do you want to get out of working with me?”
Not because
I’m trying to annoy you with endless questions but as a means of identifying
how best you can use your time and energy, and let’s face it, your money, to get the
best out of your counselling experience. It’s a bit
like starting on a journey. Unless
you’re on a mystery tour and someone else is in charge of the destination you
generally know where you want to go. |
