9.  EVALUATIVE – Make judgments based on what
you have heard and suggest answers.
 SUPPORTIVE – Offer general sympathy.
 PROBING – Find out more information.
 REFLECTIVE – Try to feed back your listener’s perception
of what has been said in order to check its accuracy.
 INTERPRETATIVE – Interpret what you have heard
without checking the accuracy of what you have heard.

10. The best counselor uses a combination of
reflective and probing responses as this
encourages staff to think through a
problem and come with own solution
Ultimately, the best style is the one which
suits your situation
