Communication Techniques and Counselling Microskills

Imagine responding to a friend's concerns with empathy and clarity, or guiding a client through a challenge with confidence. Solid communication techniques and strong counselling microskills make this possible.

This toolkit introduces key counselling communication skills-practical techniques designed to build rapport, foster understanding, and support others.

This guide is not intended as an exhaustive training program. Rather, it serves as:

- a practical resource for internationally educated mental health professionals new to a Western context

- a helpful introduction for those curious about counselling techniques

- a concise refresher for experienced counsellors
