🧠 In this video, Ken Kelly and Rory Lees-Oakes explore why letting go of fixed outcomes is vital in counselling practice. When we hold onto a client’s goal too tightly - such as fixing a relationship or resolving trauma - we risk interfering with their autonomy. Instead, this conversation explores the power of presence, trust, and staying client-led.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

✔ Why holding outcomes can damage therapeutic progress
✔ The difference between client-stated goals and true needs
✔ How transference, attachment, and supervision inform outcome attachment
✔ Practical ways to honour client autonomy in therapy
✔ The importance of self-awareness in the counsellor’s process
✔ How to reflect on incongruence without steering the client
