Key Terms and Concepts
• Accent Highlighting the last word the client said. i.e. Client: “This situation is driving me
crazy!” Counsellor: “Driving you crazy?”
• Acknowledgment of Non-Verbal Behaviour differs from reflection/ summary of feelings. “I
noticed your arms are folded and you’re looking at the floor”, does not interpret the meaning of
the behaviour.
• Advanced Empathy Process of helping a client explore themes, issues, and emotions new to
their awareness. 2nd level of empathy is usually inappropriate for an initial interview because it
examines too much information too quickly.
