PSYC 1500: Counselling Theory & Practice INTERVIEW ASSIGNMENT – 20% of final grade I said, he was not listening, defensive and unable to share feelings, goals and plans. Description of the outcome of the session: The client showed an evasive and defensive attitude. He did not want to talk about his emotions, feelings, and the situation he was going through. I feel he was there only because it was an imposed service, not because he did want to talk about his changes. I tried to respond very patiently, and I showed empathy and listening skills. However, it was not successful. NOTE: Please ensure that your written submission is handed in with a cover page including your full name, course code, section, Professor name.
