What’s the best way to handle difficult sessions?

Question: “I don’t know what to do when my client is distressed” In some sessions with clients, they have been overwhelmed by sudden life changes (e.g., loss of a loved one, or an unexpected break up) and they come to the session in a highly emotional state. What’s the best way to manage these kinds […]

How can I write better case notes?

Question: “I don’t know if I’m writing relevant or even useful case notes” When it comes to writing case notes, I sometimes wonder if everything I’m writing is relevant or if I’m writing too much. As a new therapist, I’ve received different answers depending on who I’ve asked. Some lecturers and supervisors say that notes […]

How can I motivate my client?

Question: “I want to motivate my client to change.” I have been seeing one of my clients now for 10+ sessions and from the first session, she openly says, “I’m not motivated to try anything in therapy…even though I know I need to change!”  She studies Law (a course she’s not interested in) and puts […]

How can I help a client I dislike?

Question: “I don’t like my client. Am I a bad therapist?” I have a client I’ve been working with for a few sessions now and I realise I’m struggling with feelings of dislike toward them. They presented with relationship issues (partner and family members), saying that they find it difficult to “be heard” and feel […]
