Have fun reading.

Who are the clientele of counseling?

From our previous discussions, you already have ideas on who the clientele
of counseling are, from children to the elderlies. Kabir (2017) describe the clientele
of counseling as people who are basically psychologically healthy to resolve
developmental and situational problems (p 23). Ideal clientele of counseling are
people who are able to feel and describe their emotion and are free to speak of
vulnerabilities and to ask for help (Osherson & Krugman, 1990, cited in Burnham-
Smith, 1996, p13). People with psychological disorders or psychiatric disorders also
known mental illness may not benefit from the service of a counselor. They should
be referred to professionals who specialized in caring for them like the psychiatrists
and clinical psychologists who are equipped with means to diagnose and treat such
disorders. A mental illness interferes severely with a person’s healthy functioning
such as how the person feels, thinks, behaves, and interacts with other people
(Australian Government, nd, p1). It is different from having problems with mental
health which is normally experienced as a response to life’s stresses such stress
brought about by loss or disasters.
People having problems with their mental health can benefit from the
service of a counselor. People who seek counseling want to be alleviated
from negative feelings or gain to know the clientele of counseling. There are
four main reasons why people seek counseling: 1) Difficult life event, 2)
Mental Health issues, 3) Life transitions or decisions, and 4) Self discovery
(Answers, 2021). Difficult life events are stressful and traumatic in nature
and people who experienced loss whether of a loved one, property, or job,
abuse, addiction, or serious physical illness may be helped by the
counseling process (Answers, 2021). People with mental health issues such
as anxiety which leads to prolonged fear and worry may seek the service of a
counselor. There are also people who experience difficulties in life
transitions which is developmental in nature such as adjusting to
adulthood, starting a new career, marriage, becoming a parent, and
retirement. Also there are people who seek the service of a counselor even if
they are not experiencing specific life issues. They want to discover more
about themselves through reflection on their past experiences, values, and
goals in life (Answers, 2021).

What are the different processes involve in counseling?

There are lots of methods and processes involved in counseling. However,
before you can apply all of these, you have to have intensive theoretical and
practical training in order to possess the skills to apply the different methods and
processes. The qualifications of a counselor were mentioned already in our previous
discussions. These skills were grouped into three dimensions by Winston and
Coker (2020, cited in Agustina, 2018): technical skills, therapeutic skills, and
cognitive skills. Technical skills include communication skills, listening
skills/responses, basic interviewing skills, helping or counselling skills which also
involves different types of skills such as questions, reflection of feeling, confrontation

and self-disclosure (Agustina, 2018, p 2). Cognitive skills of a counselors point to

the ability of describing the need of and applying the appropriate means to help
them (Agustina, 2018). Therapeutic skills is the ability to apply effectively
counseling theories methods and approaches (Agustina, 2018). You may want to
explore more of these different skills.
There are lots of counseling processes involved in counseling. We are going
to deal with the stages of the counseling process in our discussion. Basically, the
counseling process consists of stages: Stage 1-Relationship Building, Stage 2-
Problem Assessment, Stage 3– Goal Setting, Stage 4– intervention, and Stage 5–
Evaluation and Termination.

Stage 1: The counselor establishes a rapport or harmonious relationship with a

client by giving the client the unconditional positive regard. This is needed in order
for the client to explore freely issues that affect him or her.

Stage 2: Information is collected by the counselor on the client’s situation and the
reason for seeking counseling.

Stage 3: Goal setting: The client agrees on certain set conditions to achieve a
desirable outcome.

Stage 4: Counseling intervention: The counselor applies an appropriate approach to

reduce negative behavior or thoughts in order for the client to achieve the desirable
outcome set in stage 3 or in goal setting.

Stage 5: The counselling process is evaluated by the counselor to see if it is effective

in achieving the desired outcome. After which, the counseling process is
terminated. There are times when the counseling process is terminated even if the
outcome was not achieved. This may happen if the counselor feels that the client is
not benefitting from the different counseling process or the characteristic of the
client or of the issue at hand proved to be beyond the counselor’s competence. In
this case, the counselor refers the client to another counselor or mental health
professional with the client’s consent.

What are the methods involved in counseling?

There are many methods used in counseling. However we are going to limit
our discussion to only four of them. These are Psychodynamic therapy, Behavioral
therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy and Humanistic Therapy. You will find that
some of the other therapeutic methods are derivative of these four therapeutic
methods. Therapy is the means employed to make the client feel better and develop
healthy behavior and thoughts.
Psychodynamic therapy has its roots in psychoanalysis. It involves
examining the unconscious mind with the present thoughts, feelings, actions and
relationships. The content of the unconscious mind can not be recalled easily
without the techniques that will be employed by the counselor such asking clients
to express their thoughts freely (free association) or through dream analysis. It
allows the client to develop insight into negative or ineffective actions or thought
which may have rooted during childhood.
One of the assumptions in Behavior therapy is negative or ineffective
behavior has been learned in the past through the process of conditioning and

Week 3 Page 4 | P a g e
 Angono National High School
(Grade VII-XII)
Lt. C. Aguinaldo St., Brgy. Kalayaan, Angono, Rizal

continued in the present. Such negative action can be unlearned paving the way to
an effective one. Rewarding present effective behavior also helps in therapy.
Cognitive behavior therapy involves not only ineffective behavior but also
negative thought patters which produce distress or stress. By replacing negative
thought patterns the client may feel better and function more effectively.
In Humanistic therapy, the counselor helps the client to develop a realistic
view of one’s self and be able to be his or her true self. The assumption is the client
is the best person to understand himself or herself.

What are the differences in the needs of the individual, groups, organization
and communities?
The needs of the individual, groups or organization, and communities are
different from one another but the counseling goal is the same. That is to cope with
negative feelings or emotion and develop effective thoughts and behavior thereby
reduce stress and increase positive feelings. Usually, individuals have a need to
cope with real life issues such as anxiety, relationship issues and school
difficulties. They need the support of a counselor especially if the significant others
can no longer provide the needed support. Issues which directly affect the
individual may result in undue stress or distress.
Stress or issues brought about by conditions within the group or
organizations such as in the place of work, may negatively affect the members
causing distress. Poor performance and unhealthy relationships may arise,
affecting in return the ability of the group or organization to achieve its objectives.
If left unchecked, the group or organization may be dissolved of it can no longer
serve its purpose. Group counseling may help members of the group skills to
express thoughts and feelings and as well as develop appropriate social skills in
order to resolve issues within the group or organization. The counselor studies the
dynamics of the group through patterns of relationships, communication and
workflow.
Widespread poverty, drug addiction, violence and natural disasters affect
every member of a community. These factors have adverse effects especially to
children. For poverty, drug addiction and violence, communities need counseling
service specifically of a community counselor to help members realize the need to
end the prolonged disturbance of peace and order which may have caused fear,
anxiety and undue decrease in economic and educational opportunities.
Counselors also help in building resilience of community members who suffered
loss, whether of properties or loved ones, during natural disasters. With
counseling, members may be able to accept reality and focus on rebuilding their
lives.
