Individual counselling is a one-to-one, face-to-face relationship marked by intimacy, warmth and rapport between the counsellor and the counselee. It is performed for obtaining a deeper understanding of problems of an intimate and sensitive nature.  This technique helps in presenting an accepting, permissive climate to enable free participation of clients where their defences are reduced. Clarification of feelings, restatement of content, privacy and confidentiality of relationship are addressed.
