 Empathy in counselling is about the counsellor seeing the
client's world as they see it. Empathy is to respectfully
perceive what the client is bringing from their frame of
reference and to communicate that back in a way that
makes the client feel they've been understood.

 Empathy improves our capacity to communicate
well with others, not just individually but as part of
a team. It will help you to effectively lead and
inspire others, and develop more compassionate
relationships. Anticipate the needs of clients.

 We may not be undergoing the very same upset,
sorrow, or fear as our clients, but by being empathic,
we are most likely experiencing our interpretation of
such feelings. And in doing so, forming a stronger,
more helpful connection, boosting the therapeutic
alliance and the potential for a successful treatment
outcome.

 For example, you likely smile and take the
trouble to remember people's names: that's
empathy in action. Giving people your full
attention in meetings, being curious about their
lives and interests, and offering constructive
feedback are all empathic behaviours, too.

 Unconditional positive regard is defined by
humanistic psychologists to mean expressing
empathy, support, and acceptance to someone,
regardless of what they say or do.

According to Rogers, unconditional positive regard
involves showing complete support and acceptance
of a person no matter what that person says or does.
The therapist accepts and supports the client, no
matter what they say or do, placing no conditions on
this acceptance.

Unconditional positive regard (UPR) is defined
as a humanistic and client-centered approach to
therapy in which a person is accepted and
respected by others as they are, without being
judged or evaluated. Using UPR, a person
should not be criticized for what they say or do.
