Figure 1.5: Factors influencing the effectiveness of counselling
a) Influence of Close Parties
(i) Normally the close parties or companions are the people who have great
impact on the client and it is important for her to remember about them in
the session.
b) Additional Sources of Help
(i) The client may be referred to other institutions in the community such as
hospital, dentists, religious department and others to get help if it has been
identified that the client may need it.
(ii) example : a confused client who does not know to choose a major at the
university can be referred to a lecturer to discuss courses of her interest.
c) Brochure Preparation
- Reading materials and references may serve to help the counsellor in the
process of counselling.
Termination
Three elements needs to be achieved :
a) The progress that has been achieved throughout the counselling must be summed
up and the effects be evaluated
b) Other issues that need to be solved around this time must be stated
c) Ways of maintaining the client’s growth after the end of the counselling need to be
considered
