A Counselling Framework may be …

• Stage 1: The present – Where you are now? (most probably the 1st and 2nd sessions)
• Stage 2:  Preferred – Where you want to be? (most probably from the 3rd session)
• Stage 3:  Strategies – How you are going to get where you want to be?       (Egan, 2009)

Remarks: The Framework above is for reference only; the process may be different upon each client and his/her issues
