Peer Feedback Prompts
For each of your peer feedback posts, please watch your peers’ videos in full and provide the following feedback. Make sure the strength (positive feedback) and area for growth (constructive feedback) are in reference to skills/counseling behaviors covered during the week the counseling demonstration video was recorded.
1.
Point out one strength/s
during the session. For at least one strength, address the following:
a.
Directly name the counseling skill/behavior that was a strength
b.
Make specific reference to what the peer said or did to demonstrate the skill/counseling behavior.
c.
Discuss how the client responded/reacted/received the use of the skill/counseling behavior.
d.
Discuss why the use of the skill/counseling behavior was appropriate to use (use your book or another professional source as a reference to back up your point here-one reference required). Here is an example of how I might point out one identified peer strength by (a.) directly
identifying the name of the skill or behavior, (b.) making specific reference to what the peer did/said to demonstrate the behavior or skill, (c.) discussing how the client responded/reacted/received the skill/counseling behavior, and (d.) discussing why it was appropriate to use (support d. with a reference):
Informed consent: Great job; stated everything needed
Closed ended questions at the beginning Judging at the beginning
Minimal encouragers were good
Homework
Banesha,
You did a really good job on this first mock session. You remained calm and did not seem nervous at all. One strength you had was your informed assent statement. At the beginning of your session, you asked your client if they had been to counseling before. You let them know your role as a counselor, and you also spoke to confidentiality and the limits of
confidentiality. Another strength you presented throughout your session is you maintained eye contact and had great body language and appearance. By making good eye contact and having good body language, you created a warm, welcoming environment for your client to feel safe to
speak freely. Eye contact conveys confidence and shows you are interested and involved in what your client is saying (Ridley & Asbury, 1988). Your body language showed that you were comfortable, relaxed, and ready to listen (Maurer & Tindall, 2983).
One area for growth is open questions. I noticed towards the beginning of your session that you asked a lot of close-ended questions that can relay with yes or no responses. An example is when you asked her about how she feels about moving out of her parents and how her relationship is with her boyfriend. Open questions give the client more ways to answer a question as well as encourage your client to open up more instead of getting a single short answer from them (Young, 2012)

Lillian,
You did a really good job of welcoming your client and letting them know about confidentiality and the limits of confidentiality. One strength you had was paraphrasing. When your client was telling you about what was going on, you responded in a way that helped the client elaborate more as well as checked for accuracy to make sure understood what they were trying to say. One
example is when you were talking about how she missed being outside and how she was having anxiety due to covid and losing people in her life. Paraphrasing is not repeating word-for-word what the client said, but rather restating the facts and thoughts in your own words in a non-
judgmental way (Young, 2018).
One area for improvement would be minimal encouragers. You said “mhmm” a couple of times, but you did speak a lot to your client instead of letting them lead. I think using more minimal encouragers will allow your client to be able to speak more about what is going on in their lives and what brought them in. Minimal encouragers are helpful in a way that they help a client continue speaking but don’t distract or interrupt them as well (Young, 2018). You did a really great job introducing yourself and providing a safe space for your client. I would also make sure to spend more time letting your client speak rather than asking too many questions.
