Abstract
There are ten evidence-based pathways along which counsellors can support clients to develop their resilience: making connections: avoiding seeing problems as insurmountable; accepting that change is part of living; moving towards goals; taking decisive actions; finding opportunities for self-discovery; nurturing a positive view of self; keeping things in perspective; maintaining a hopeful outlook; and taking care of self. This paper advocates a pluralistic approach to practice, incorporating multiple therapy orientations and methods, that counsellors may call on to enhance client resilience along these pathways.
