What is counselling?
Counselling is a process that focuses on enhancing the psychological well-being of the client, such that the client is then able to reach their full potential.
Psychological well-being
This is achieved by the counsellor facilitating personal growth, development, and self-understanding in the client, which in turn empowers the client to adapt more constructive life practices. Counsellors work in a problem-solving manner with the particular issue.
The counselling process
The counselling process will depend on the individual counsellor, the individual client and the specific issue. However, there is a general counselling process that the counsellors will follow:
- Background information collection
- Identification of core issues
- Case formulation
- Goal setting for the therapeutic process
- Implementation of intervention
- Evaluation of intervention
- Closure
