Gerry is somewhat overweight and just started a new job having been unemployed for over a year. After Gerry’s initial consultation, John starts to see Gerry three times a week for training, in the initial sessions, Gerry is revealing a lot of information to John that is not relevant to the training session – how he is really struggling getting back into the workforce, his low confidence, drinks probably more than he should after work, sometimes he experiences suicidal thoughts, etc. Joh begin to offer suggestions that he learned from researching for his thesis, his counselling course and his psychology units.
