A Activity 10: Demonstrating how to use core
counselling skills
Make arrangements to enable you to demonstrate core counselling
skills 4 to 8 from Section 1. The following guidance will help you
with your assessment:
• Make a list of skills so that you can refer to them.
• Explain to someone with whom you have a helping
relationship that you wish to practise these skills by
conducting a conversation about a non-threatening
subject that they feel happy talking about.
• When you have practised using skills with your partner,
ask them how they thought that you managed each
of the skills.
• Record your own feelings about your practice and
the feedback given by your partner.
