Authentic Counselling Training
Giving and Receiving Feedback
![]()
Well-given, well-received, timely and appropriate feedback can be invaluable. By learning to receive feedback, we can learn about how other people experience us, and consequently about ourselves. We can learn how to hear difficult things. We can learn about the effectiveness of our behaviour to achieve our intentions. We can learn what it is that we do that thwarts our intentions. Through feedback we can monitor our progress and thereby plan further development. By means of feedback we can receive honest and trustworthy encouragement. Feedback is material open to discussion, and on which it is possible subsequently to reflect. By learning to give feedback we can learn how to say difficult things accurately and effectively, not only to counselling trainees but also to counselling clients. We can learn to speak the language of counselling with understanding and intent.
