The stages of counselling help guide the process of therapy between a counselor and a client. The main stages are:
- Rapport Building: Establish trust and safety.
- Assessment: Understand the client’s issues.
- Goal Setting: Define what the client wants to achieve.
- Intervention: Apply techniques to help the client.
- Evaluation: Check progress and make adjustments.
- Termination: End the session respectfully and review outcomes.
Each stage ensures effective and structured support.
