Nonverbal Communication – Body Language

Demonstrating Empathy through Body Language

Some veterinary practitioners and counsellors are naturally empathetic. However, some tips can improve how you display empathy.

  • Nod whilst listening
  • Smile where appropriate
  • Lean towards the person you are speaking with to show that you are engaged in the conversation
  • If you think your customer would be comfortable, a gentle touch on the arm or shoulder shows compassion
