Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
School counsellor trainees are expected to go for internship during their study. Research has been carried out regarding counsellors, and also the effectiveness of the interventions. However, there is an increasing concern regarding the application of counselling theories among trainee counsellors. This is a case study investigating the common counselling theories used by the trainee school counsellors and factors that affect the application of the counselling theories. Ten presentations are selected randomly from five internship counselling trainees at one of the Malaysian training institutes. Results showed that most of the trainees used Choice Theory Reality Therapy, and most clients shared family problems during the individual counselling, thus factors for choosing certain theories are also identified. Implications and suggestion are given at the end of the paper.
