Career Plan using the Helping Skills Model
Not what you're looking for?
Use the Hill and O'Brien (1999) Helping Skills Model to describe the strategies/interventions that you would use to support a client's/student's life work plan.
First, develop a case study to use:
- Briefly describe your client's/student's presenting problem or career concern, and
- Relevant sociocultural factors that influence the case.
Next, following the Hill and O'Brien (1999) model, describe the activities that you would engage in at Stage One of your career plan.
- What techniques would you use to develop rapport, express empathy, and encourage your client/student to "tell his or her story?"
- How would you broach the role of sociocultural factors in your client's/student's career story?
For the second stage, Insight, identify the areas that you would focus on to gain a deeper meaning and understanding of your client's/student's situation.
- How would you identify his or her interests, abilities, and strengths?
- What career assessments and/or computer-assisted programs might be of use?
- What changes in the world-of-work might be relevant?
For the Action stage, identify
- The plans you would develop
- How you would evaluate them, and
- What follow up activity you would do with your client.

Therefore, she was fully immersed within the British culture, which is in contrast to the deeply patriarchal and traditional Asian culture that her parents were raised in. The counselor has to ensure that they refrain from engaging in cultural bias or cultural assumptions toward Asians wherein many people from Asian cultures actually are hesitant to discuss issues such as mental health as this can reflect badly upon their family.
