QUESTION 1

1.1 A teacher counsellor must possess positive personal characteristics to
be an effective counsellor. Name and discuss three (3), characteristics you
may possess that would enable you to be an effective teacher counsellor.

1. Empathy
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. For a
teacher-counsellor, empathy allows them to enter and experience the child’s world as
it is experienced by the child. This characteristic enables the counsellor to connect
with learners on a deeper emotional level, creating a safe and trusting environment
where learners feel heard and understood. Being empathetic, a teacher can help
learners explore their feelings, experiences, and challenges without fear of judgment
or rejection.
