There are 3 things we love about quotes.

And, third, they are memorable. Which is why you will find them often used in presentations and speeches.

So, to show you the secrets of being a valued counsellor, here are our selection of 10 quotes on "Counselling Skills"...

01. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Henri Nouwen

"When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand."

02. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Mohammed

"A good deed is one that brings a smile to the face of another."

03. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Allan Pease

"There is no such thing as a natural counsellor. In almost every case, these are people who have learned how to ask questions."

04. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Livy

"Confidence placed in another often compels confidence in return."

05. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Ray Woolfe

"If a person constantly criticises themselves and runs themselves down, then it is difficult for that person not to be critical and emotionally punishing to other people. Put in another way, we need to see the jewel in ourselves before we can see it in other people."

06. "Counselling Skills" Quote from an 18th century proverb

"It is an equal failing to trust everybody and to trust nobody."

07. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Baltasar Gracian

"When you counsel someone, you should appear to be reminding him of something he had forgotten, not of the light he was unable to see."

08. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Alexis Carrel, Reflections on Li

"All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people."

09. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Stephen Covey

"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand, rather they listen with the intent to reply. They are busy filtering everything through their own perspectives rather than trying to understand another's frame of reference."

10. "Counselling Skills" Quote from Henry Ford

"If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from his angle as well as your own."
