Counselling Techniques: Making Hypotheses Transparent
Channel: Sandra Collins
Date: 2023-06-06

It is human nature to make assumptions as we engage in conversations with one another. For counsellors it is very important to check out those assumptions with our clients to ensure that we understand what they client are saying and that we are co-constructing meaning with clients instead of making false assumptions. The technique of making hypotheses transparent supports client-centred and culturally response counselling practice.
