Demonstration of first counselling session with a 19 year old girl

This is a pseudo counselling session. The technique used are real. The counsellor Sarah Poh did not have prior knowledge on what the client wish to discuss. The recording of this session is unrehearsed.
The presenting problem is her unease with her constant comparison of herself with others.

Why I feel, the therapist seemed superficial in her respones during the sessions and not addressing the questions of the client, despite the fact that her questions were straightforward.

She ought to learn from me

@@aryansaini5178 I agree with it 😅😇

That usually because it is designed that way. The role of the therapist (especially in the humanistic approachs) is to guide the clients to awnser their own questions and not answer them for her. What you are describing when the person answer client questions and guiding them through the process is what we call coaching and not consulling with CBT probably being a exception
Also the therapist is clearly a student so also unexperienced as you can tell by her voice
