PRINCIPLES OF COUNSELING: REIMAGINED

SCENE 1: THE CHILD ENTERS THE SCHOOL, CROSSING PATHS WITH THE
TEACHER.
CHILD: Good morning, ma’am!
TEACHER: Hi, good morning! How are you today?
CHILD: I’m okay, ma’am.
TEACHER: I can tell you're not; would you like to talk about it?

SCENE 2: THE VIDEO TRANSITIONS TO A FLASHBACK IN A FAMILY SETTING.


MOTHER: What happened to you?
FATHER: What do you mean?
CHILD 1: Mom, please don’t show Dad.
FATHER: For goodness' sake! 1 out of 120?
CHILD 2: Mom, can you please sign all my test papers?
MOTHER: Be more like your sister; she only had 1-2 mistakes on her exam.
FATHER: This is your last chance; you’re going to med school. But I doubt you'll pass. If you
can’t handle a simple exam, how will you manage in med school?
MOTHER: Your sister does better than you.
CHILD 2: (Looks at CHILD 1)
FATHER: Come on, let’s go to school.

SCENE 3: BACK TO THE SCENE 1 SETTING.


CHILD: It’s okay, ma’am. I can manage.
TEACHER: But if you need help, someone to lean on, or just someone to listen to your
problems, don’t hesitate to come to my office, okay? Our teen care facility is always open to
students like you.
CHILD: Thank you, ma’am.
SCENE 4: THE CHILD GOES TO THE TEEN CARE FACILITY FOR A COUNSELING
SESSION.
COUNSELOR 1: Good morning! What’s going on? How are you? Come on in and have a seat.
CHILD: Thank you, ma’am.
COUNSELOR 1: Ma’am, we have a visitor here.
COUNSELOR 2: Oh, I see. Come in. What’s your name?
CHILD: Good morning, ma’am. I’m Mandojy Geruto, but you can call me Mandojy. I really
have a problem at home, specifically regarding my parents.
COUNSELOR 2: Hmm, why? Is it related to a wealthy family?
CHILD: No, ma’am. We’re not rich; we just have enough to eat three meals a day. But my
parents have high expectations for me and my sister. It has come to a point where they compare
us and tell me to be more like her. We are different, ma’am, and now they want me to go to med
school, but I want to be a social worker, which aligns with my current strand.
COUNSELOR 2: You know, parents often have high hopes for their children. I understand that
you don’t want to be compared to anyone else, especially your sister. However, you should also
recognize that this is a challenge for you to strive harder and prove to your parents that you are
unique and that you deserve what you desire in life.
CHILD: Ma’am, you’re the first person I’ve shared this with.
COUNSELOR 2: This is a secret between you and me; no one else will know. I’m here for you
—don’t worry.
COUNSELOR 2: (VOICEOVER) I was just like her in those days; I won’t share my backstory
with her now.
CHILD: Thank you, ma’am. This feels like a safe space for me to open up.
COUNSELOR 2: Our door is always open for you, dear.

SCENE 5: THE CHILD EXITS AND CROSSES PATHS WITH CLASSMATES.


VOICEOVER: Life can be overwhelming, especially when it feels like you’re constantly being
compared to others. The weight of expectations and the pressure to measure up can make you
feel inadequate. But sometimes, all you need is someone to talk to—someone who will listen
without judgment, someone who won’t compare you to anyone else.
CHILD: Hey, guys! Where are you going?
CLASSMATE: We’ve been called by the guidance counselor.
CLASSMATE: We were summoned due to our absences and poor academic performance.
CLASSMATE: Don’t worry; they are nice and will help you catch up.
CLASSMATE: We hope so.
VOICEOVER: Counseling is a process grounded in trust, respect, and understanding. It’s a
journey—one where we, as counselors, are committed to guiding and supporting each individual
who seeks our help. Today, let’s talk about the core principles that define what counseling is all
about.
VOICEOVER: First, we have Acceptance. As counselors, we recognize the uniqueness of every
person we meet. Regardless of their background or life story, we are here to accept them fully
and unconditionally. Everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and valued.
VOICEOVER: Next is Communication. Counseling is all about communication—both verbal
and nonverbal. We don’t just listen with our ears; we listen with our hearts. It’s essential to
remain aware of the needs of those we engage with, ensuring that our words and actions reflect
understanding and care.
VOICEOVER: Then there’s Empathy. This principle reminds us to step into our clients’ worlds,
to feel what they feel, and to understand how they perceive their experiences. Empathy is what
allows us to truly connect and offer the support they need.
VOICEOVER: Non-judgment is also at the heart of counseling. We set aside biases and embrace
our clients as they are, no matter what they share. It’s about creating a safe space where
individuals know they can be themselves without fear of judgment. This is where true healing
begins.
VOICEOVER: Another important principle is Confidentiality. We hold our clients’ personal
stories and struggles in strict confidence. While there are limits to this principle, it’s vital for
clients to know they can trust us completely. What they share stays within the session—protected
and secure.
VOICEOVER: We also honor Individuality. No two clients are alike, which is why we approach
each person with a unique perspective, tailoring our guidance to fit their specific needs and
concerns. There’s no “one size fits all” in counseling.
VOICEOVER: Finally, there’s Non-emotional Involvement. While we care deeply for our
clients, we maintain objectivity. We set boundaries, ensuring that our personal feelings and biases
don’t interfere. It’s about being present without being overwhelmed as we guide our clients
through their challenges.
VOICEOVER: These principles—Acceptance, Communication, Empathy, Non-judgment,
Confidentiality, Individuality, and Non-emotional Involvement—form the foundation of
counseling. They remind us that every person deserves compassion, support, and a safe space to
grow.
SCENE 6: ENDING PART
COUNSELOR 1: Remember, your journey is your own—there’s no need to compare. You are
enough as you are.
COUNSELOR 2: When life feels overwhelming, reach out; you’re never alone.
COUNSELOR 3: Together, we’ll find strength, and you’ll rise above any challenge. Keep
believing in yourself—you’re stronger than you think.
ALL: Sharing is caring.
DIRECTOR: The greatest gift we can give is our time and our heart. Sharing makes the world a
better place.
ALL AT ONCE: Sharing is caring!
