Counselling Microskills: Checking Perceptions I
Channel: Sandra Collins
Date: 2023-05-16

In this video we demonstrate the counselling microskill of checking perceptions. When checking perceptions the counsellor checks in explicitly with the client about the goodness of fit of what the counsellor has just said or invites client input on change of direction or topic. The purposes of checking perceptions are to demonstrate respect and to foreground client perspectives, to communicate cultural humility, and to invite continued feedback from the client.
