Counselling Roleplay - Integrated Basic Skills

This video was a project between Pete Allen-Worth for his university degree, and Dean Richardson of iCounsellor.co.uk.

Purpose - to demonstrate (and film) counselling skills.

1/3 - In this first video we demonstrate an integrated approach to basic counselling skills - whereby the counsellor demonstrates a whole series of techniques: non-directiveness, open questions/curiosity, reflections, summarising, echoing, interpretation and advanced empathy. This purpose in this role play is to give the observer an idea of how a counsellor may behave toward his client.

In all videos the part of the client is role played by Liam Devaney, but Dean Richardson is a real counsellor demonstrating real techniques.

Dean Richardson is a individuals psychodynamic and systemic/psychodynamic couples counsellor. He is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has has been practising for over ten years. He works in his own private practice in Portsmouth.

I'm just beginning a course in Basic Counselling Skills. I found this video to be very insightful and helpful to me. A quick and simple question - how much money is it possible to make as a full-time Counsellor with your own private practice? Many thanks! :)

@badah101 Earnings from counselling will depend (a) on your hourly fee, (b) how many clients want to work with you, (c) your mental capacity (counselling can be very tiring and ethics demand that you are well enough to work with someone), (d) your costs (advertisements, room hire, supervision fees, professional membership fees, insurance).

I'm not going to give you a number!

Hi sir, this is an informative counselling skills video. I just wondered if you could recommend me any other clips on youtube or dvds off amazon for example? I have an upcoming observation next week on my cs... Many thanks

wow this is really helpful.. I'm half way into my course while also working within the welfare industry and even though I have been shown this before it's good to see it again but in a different setting. :-)

counselling is not about the money but the help you give to the world, yes there is a reward in counselling and a good one too
