People who cross my
path
Apart from learning how to counsel, I
have to be counselled too. This is to learn what it is like to be sitting in the
other seat.
I was very blessed to have Ms Trina as my supervisor. In the five sessions I had
with her, she really taught me a lot. She transformed me from a sparrow to an
eagle in the counselling field. She asked tough questions to make me think and
think hard. She made me able to empathise with my client and opened my
perspective to the world of counselling.
I now have a greater understanding of the process of counselling and working
with my client.
In this journey with her, my thinking process has broadened and deepened. I
would say that I am a much better counsellor now as compared to the first time I
met her. I am far from being a professional but I am definitely better than when
I first started. Able to use these skills on my kids is indeed a bonus.
