Counseling Spiel- Virtual Client- Raquel

Opening-

Hi Ma’am Raquel! Good morning! By the way, I’m Abi, your social
worker for this helping process. It’s nice to meet you ma’am!

Have a seat ma’am.

Kumusta ? How are you feeling today? (recognize her answer)

Naay bread and biscuit, would you like to grab some or Do you
want anything to drink, coffee, juice, or water?

Would you love to take few minutes to rest before we start our first
session?

Counseling session

To formally start, since it is our first session, I would love you to

know that I’ll be asking you some personal questions. This session will be
about 3-5 minutes for now. I’ll also cater any question you would love to
ask me. Ayaw kabalaka ma’am, kay atong pagahisgotan karon kay
akong paga kuptan ug I value as confidential as it is. Walay laing
makahibalo other than the both of us except when there is an information
that needs to address to the more authorized personnel especially when
there is a life a risk. My role here is to facilitate and not to mandate.
Kinahanglan lang na kita mag matinuoron sa usa’g usa. This would be a
team-effort para ma achieve nato ang kaayohan sa imoha ug sa imong
pamilya ma’am. Ug lain pa, dili ra kini ang una ug last nato nga session.
Naa pay mga follow-ups para makab.ot nato ang kausaban sa imohang
problema karon ma’am. Is it okay?

Do you have questions for me?

Okay then, let’s proceed.

Abi: I know we spoke briefly on the phone, but I’d like to just start with a
really broad question and go from there, so I will ask what brought
you in today?

 Can you tell me how or when did it start?

 How does it affect you as a person?
 Who knows about it? Support network?
 How have you managed to cope with all this and keep going?
 What helps you to keep going even though things are really hard?
 What was your mindset as you faced these difficulties?

Abi: Nakaduol ug nakahinabi na ba ka sukad usa ka Counselor kaniadto

alang niini o alang sa bisan unsa? Kanus-a kana? Unsa ang makatabang
nimo bahin niana? Aduna bay bisan unsa bahin niana nga dili
makatabang?

Abi: So I really hear you about your concern and am starting to think of
some things we can do together that will really help that, but first let me
ask, is there anything else going on that you think is important for me to
know?

Abi: Thank you for answering all those questions, Jane. I know this stuff
is hard to talk about. I admire you for being brave.

Abi: Now, since we already know what the factors behind your problem
were, let’s make an agreement on what we could possibly do to solve it.
I’m afraid that we are running out of time, sa akong nahisgutan ganiha,
na naa pa kitay mga umaabot na sessions. Sa pagkakaron, hatagan tka
ug tumang higayon para huna hunaon nimo ug unsay atong angayang
buhaton para ma resolba nato imong problema. This will serve as your
assignment. Para sa sunod na session, ato kining pagahisgotan. Kini ang
nga guide questions para makatabang sa imoha ug decision.

 What do you think would be the best thing to do with your situation?
 What now do you want in regards with this?
 What would be our goal in order to solve this problem?
 How far along are you toward achieving these?
 How can I help you achieve your goals or recover from this?

Abi : Well ma’am we’re almost out of time, I’m sorry to have to stop. We
can do one of two things from here. If you feel comfortable that we’d be a
good fit, mahimo natong ipadayon ug mag eskedyul kita para sa mga
sunod nga sesyon. Para nimo ma’am, unsa may mas maayo ? kung
kanus.a kita maga session balik? Kung ako imong pangutan.on ma’am
mas maayo ug matag simana. Pero ang decision naa sa imoha ma’am.

( wait for the response sa schedule)

Abi: If that’s the case, I’d love to ask you ma’am ug asa tika pwede ma
contact para sa mga follow-ups ma’am mahitungod sa atong mga
nahisgutan ug mga paga hisgutan sa mga umaabot?

Abi: Naa pa kay mga pangutana ma’am before nato tapuson atong
session karon?

Abi: Okay, so kung wala na, dre na nagatapos atong session karon
ma’am. Daghang salamat sa imong cooperation ma’am. God Bless!

(if naa pay time, small talks is necessary)
