Client

The Client is the person working in a session with the attention of a counsellor. Sometimes referred to as the "worker" or "creator" in the Co-Creating Contract.

The Client is responsible for

  • their session and how they approach their matrerial
  • choosing and negotiating that session contract that they see fit best their needs while clienting.
  • maintaining their Balance Of Attention when working on deep emotional stuff.

There is a different, potentially confusing use of the word 'Counsellor' in Germany.
People can only really be in charge of their session if they are able to 'counsel' themselves. It is exactly for this reason that people trained in the Münster approach have decided in the past to call their Clients 'Counsellor'. and their Counsellor 'Co-Counsellor! See for more background of this, the history of Co-Counselling in Münster.
