• What is Counseling?
Tony Thampi
Empathy
• According to Rogers (1961)…
– This is the ability to enter the client’s
phenomenological world, to experience the
client’s world as if it were your own without ever
losing the ‘as if’ quality.
• It involves two specific skills:
– Perception/understanding of what is taking place
emotionally.
– The ability to communicate your understanding of
that to your client.
