| Overview: In its loosest sense, a counselling session is any regular face-to-face communication between a manager and an employee, in which the techniques of the counselling approach are used. These can include career counselling, performance appraisal and disciplinary interviews. In its tighter sense, a counselling session is one in which an employee and his or her manager sit down to resolve any identified block to the employee's progress, whether that block originates at work or outside work or is raised by the employee first or manager first. |
