Counselling Techniques: Narrowing the Focus
Channel: Sandra Collins
Date: 2023-06-06

As counsellors and clients work together to set directions for the therapeutic process, it is often important to narrow the focus to one or more themes, contexts, or dimensions of the challenges clients are facing. By supporting clients to narrow the focus of change (at least as a starting place), counsellors enhance client expectancy of change and optimize the potential for client success in implementing change.
