Abstract

In the reflexive modern societies uncertainties and unknowing regarding the suitable path for change are special characteristics of counselling. The aspects are especially important in the context of low-threshold, family based counselling. Against this background, we try to clarify how reflexive counselling should look. Based on research results and examples from practice, we describe the skills and competencies necessary for counsellors. Finally, we suggest a model of reflection and training for professionals.
