What is the recommended approach if a client discloses they feel unwell during a session?

When a client discloses they feel unwell during a session, the recommended approach focuses on their health and safety. It's essential to approach the situation with caution and prioritize the client's well-being. The best response is to assess the client's condition. This means asking questions to understand their symptoms and determining if it's appropriate to continue with the session. By proceeding with caution, you show concern for the client's well-being and allow for an informed decision about whether to continue or stop the session.

Stopping the session without a thorough assessment may not be necessary in every case, and doing so without further information could lead to misunderstandings about what the client needs. Encouraging the client to take a pain reliever or suggesting sick leave options may not adequately address immediate needs or could delay necessary interventions. The focus should always be on understanding the client's condition and making decisions based on that assessment, ensuring they feel supported and safe.
