A, C & E only

A, C & D only

B, C & E only

Correct Answer:

A, C & D only

Explanation:

he correct answer is A, C & D only.

Statement A, "Counselling involves a basic acceptance of the client's feelings without judgment," is true. This is a fundamental principle of counseling, known as unconditional positive regard. It means that the counselor accepts the client for who they are, regardless of their feelings or behaviors.

Statement B, "Counselling is a non-voluntary process in which counselor approaches client," is false. Counseling is typically a voluntary process in which the client seeks out the counselor for help. In some cases, counseling may be mandated by a court or other authority, but it is still considered to be voluntary if the client is willing to participate.

Statement C, "Counselling involves responding to the feeling thoughts and action of the client," is true. The counselor's role is to help the client explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to gain a better understanding of themselves and their problems.

Statement D, "Confidentiality is an essential ingredient in the counselling setting," is true. Confidentiality means that the counselor will not share information about the client with anyone else without the client's permission. This is important to protect the client's privacy and to create a safe and trusting environment for counseling.

Statement E, "Counselling is giving advice," is false. While counselors may sometimes offer suggestions or recommendations, the goal of counseling is not to give advice. Instead, the goal is to help the client empower themselves to make their own decisions and solve their own problems.
