LET US DO:
Activity 3: In What Way Will Counseling Help Me?
Direction: John McLeod contends that: “Counseling aims to empower the
client by helping him/her make critical decisions in life, develop ability to
cope, enhance effectiveness, and improve quality of life”.
What do you think about this statement? Do you accept or support it?

“
How will it empower you? Explain your answer.

For me, the statement is acceptable and true. I have three main reasons to
support this. Firstly, it is visible that counselling is one of the approaches and
most frequently used in health education to help individuals and families because
it can help to make critical decisions in life, especially nowadays that we
encountered multiple problems. Secondly,  counselling relies heavily on
communication and relationship skills. Therefore, an individual can develop the
ability to cope because he or she can gain confidence to find solutions to the
problems. Ultimately,  it is also an important aspect of disease prevention and
health promotion because it helps people to understand what they can do, through
their own efforts, to avoid illness and to improve the quality of their lives.
