Using phenomenological method, in-depth interview and personal records of 10 counselors were analyzed. Based on the meaningful statements obtained from the analysis of the participants’ statements, six sub-components and three central themes were derived. Central themes were consisted of three areas: ‘Self acceptance’, ‘Received empathy’, and ‘Able to know what one needs’ and sub-components were ‘Confronting uncomfortable parts’, ‘Able to organize various parts’, ‘Feeling companionship’, ‘Able to focus on oneself’, ‘Confirmation by expressing’, ‘Aware one’s needs’. The results of this study showed that the focusing poetry-picture making work enhanced the self-reflection of counselors by accepting oneself as he/she is, able to empathize and have awareness. Since this study was conducted for counselors who are interested in focusing experiential therapy, follow-up study of experiences of counselors who are interested in different approach of focusing poetry-picture making work is suggested.
