How I Work Questionnaire

Counseling Wise – How I Work Questionnaire

 

  1. How do you approach your therapeutic relationship with a client? What do you bring to the relationship? What is the goal of the relationship? What are the emotional overtones?

 

  1. Describe the therapeutic environment if not addressed above. Is it safe? Nonjudgmental? Warm? Practical?

 

  1. What is your therapy philosophy? Does this relate to your life philosophy? If so, how?

 

  1. What might a client expect to experience in your office? Essentially, how do you work with clients?

 

  1. What approaches/modalities inform/add to your work? In other words, what are the tools in your toolbox? Do you develop a specific treatment plan or strategy? Do you offer clients tools and techniques to use outside of the office? If so, please give examples.

 

(Note: Be wary of diving too deep into the specifics of modalities as doing so can be overwhelming to a reader. That said, this depends on the therapist. If a therapist has a lot of approaches, consider bullet points. If a client is really all about a specific approach (think EFT for couples), then explaining the approach in a couple of sentences might be appropriate.

 

  1. What are your short and long-term goals for your clients?

 

  1. Any relevant logistical details? For example, do you offer evening and/or weekend appointments? Do you use online counseling or offer in-home or out-of-office sessions?

 

  1. Is there anything not discussed above that sets you apart from other therapists?

 

  1. Any additional and/or ongoing training?

 

10. Any relevant/important statistics or quotes to add to message?

 

11. Call To Action
