Q. List the counselling skills?
Slowly start winding up the contact with the client and the family by providing them support, motivating the client to take care of oneself with the help of family when needed, motivating family to support patient and developing their coping strategies. In this way, you will plan termination of contact. Termination should not be sudden and it should be taken as a positive step by client, family and counsellor with no emotional involvement. But you will do the follow up of the client to ensure that he is following the plan with no difficulties and is able to solve problems, if any. Ensure patient is following the instructions of the doctor.
