Counselling Techniques: Envisioning Client Preferences I
Channel: Sandra Collins
Date: 2023-05-25

Counsellors use the technique of envisioning client preferences to explore how clients would like things to be different and to create a detailed picture of  their preferred lived experiences (e.g., alternative present or future). The purposes of this techniques are to centre clients' views of time and change, to set broad intentions for change, and to enhance client motivation for change.
