I was a student counselor during my second year of the first semester of my bachelor's degree in social science counseling, as was my peer client. All five sessions took place at her home in the living room, the orientation of the furniture was my responsibility, so I took great pleasure in moving the sofas into a desirable position for my peer client, and we also discussed beforehand of the nature of being alone in the living room. house when the sessions on which we both agreed were taking place. The DOPLE method was used in all beginning sessions. The day before each session I made sure I had a good night's sleep and had cleared my mind of what was going on, this seemed to help me feel more transparent with the PC referring to the client counterpart. Additionally, enlightenment gave me ethical freedom when forming a core relationship, as Corey (2013) points out: Building a therapeutic relationship places a responsibility on the counselor to work ethically, understanding their own values ​​and how these values ​​could interrupt the process if the counselor is not aware of them. Use the Powhiri Poutama model in our first initial session focusing on connecting two people by introducing ourselves to each other, by informing the client of her rights as a consumer, asking her if she knew anything about advice, confidentiality and their involvement in the process. The Powhiri model influenced the conversation and feeling of comfort and cultural awareness, the client was relaxed and able to ask questions freely. (CITE) Two of the four sessions, our relational style consisted of the counselor being an adult friend willing to listen and adapt the client's thinking. PC view might be different. The last two sessions this turned into more in counseling...... middle of paper ...... powhiri poutama model. I'm more comfortable using my skills with my peers because there aren't as many repercussions if something goes wrong. But also the opportunity to use my skills makes me less anxious about using them with real clients. The first session was a false new experience even though we knew each other, we also acted as if it was our first meeting, skeptical about what she would talk about, I felt calm and transparent, putting my values ​​aside, to hear PC problems. Using the ARC model helped me sift through the story and think about the content that was relevant to it in terms of underlying feelings. I learned that it is a professional responsibility to engage in my work, attend classes, listen, read books related to counseling, work collaboratively with the client and practice putting implementing goals to relieve anxiety during future use.
