individual is shocked in a particular
situation, he/she gives himself/herself no
chance for the situation to recur. This
method can be used to overcome avoidance
reactions, so as to improve the emotional
weak spots. If an employee is once shocked
by the behavior, approach or action of his
superior, he would continue to avoid that
superior.

Developing the new pattern
• Insight is the ability to acquire a new accurate
awareness or comprehension about a thing or
person. Insight therapy is a type of therapy that
helps the employee to understand how events in
the past are negatively influencing the current
thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
15
Developing new patterns becomes very often
necessary when other methods to deal with weak
spots remain ineffective. In order to develop
new, more satisfying emotional reactions, the
individual needs to expose himself to situations
where he can experience positive feelings.

in which a counsellor provides
help to an employee by way of
advice and guidance. There are

PROCESS OF COUNSELLING

• The counselling process has three
important phases:
• (1) Rapport building
• (2) Exploration, and
• (3) Action planning.

REPORT BUILDING
Rapport building is essential for any
effective counselling outcome. In this
phase, a good counsellor attempts to
establish a climate of acceptance, warmth,
support, openness, and mutuality. He/she
does this by listening to the employees’
problems and feeling, by communicating
his/her understanding to the employees,
and by expressing a genuineness of interest
in them.

19. ALPINE SKI HOUSE
EXPLORATION
In the exploration phase, besides accepting
the employees, listening to them, and
establishing a climate of openness, the
counsellor attempts to understand as well
as help the employees understand their
own situational strengths, weaknesses,
problems, and needs.

FUNCTION OF COUNSELLING
• Function # 1. Advice:
• One of the important functions of counselling is offering advice “to the counselee.” The counsellor has to
understand the problem of the counselee completely, before offering advice and suggesting a course of action.
• Function # 2. Reassurance:
• In order to give courage to face a problem confidently, counselling provides employees with reassurance.
Normally reassurance is not acceptable to the counselee. However, it is useful in some situations.
• Function # 3. Communication:
• Counselling helps improve both upward and downward communications. In an upward direction, it is a key for
employees-to make the management know their feeling.
• Another part of the counsellor’s job is to discover emotional problems relating to company’s policies and to
interpret those problems to top management.

• Function # 4. Release of Emotional Tension:
• Releasing emotional tension is an important function of counselling. People feel emotional release from their
frustration after counselling. Release of tension may not solve the entire problem, but it removes mental blocks
to the solution.
• Function # 5. Clarified Thinking:
• Another function of counselling is that of clarified thinking. As emotional blocks to straight thinking are relieved
while narrating the problems to the counsellor, one begins to think more rationally.
• Function # 6. Reorientation:
• It involves a change in the employee’s psychic self through a change in basic goals and values.
