In health and social care practice, the skills of counselling are in use every day and are generally viewed as essential activities for forming and sustaining effect client practitioner relationships. Repeatedly, it has been shown that there is a discrepancy between professionals’ perception of their interpersonal skills and the evidence which exists to support quality of practice.
The use of talking therapies as a strategy for helping and supporting individuals to manage lifestyle modifications and adapt to changes in health status has rapidly moved up the health agenda.
As new roles and service delivery challenges emerge counselling skills will have a very influential part to play in the development of good working relationships as well as enhanced therapeutic partnerships.
The skills needed for effective practitioner client relationships are not necessarily naturally occurring in all those who work in health and social care. Reynolds and Scott(2003) have identified that empathy is at the core of all care delivered, yet there is evidence that this key aspect of communication is present at low levels in occupational therapy students, medical staff, nurses, nurse educators and counsellors.
Empathy as well as other core counselling skills used effectively has the potential to make a difference. They can support service users and practitioners to manage and adapt to the stressors of daily living, health changes and challenges in the work environment.
A necessary element of health and social care delivery is to engage with users in the most effective and therapeutic manner. This suggests a need to develop mastery of the skills for communication that display sensitivity to issues of power imbalance, trust, empathy and personahood.
New Horizons (2009) states that mental health and wellbeing is everybody’s business indicating that all practitioners need to be skilled in using enhanced communication skills with genuine intention to make a difference.
