PROCESSES IN COUNSELING

Counseling process is both considered an art and a science. As an art, it requires


the counselor to be sensitive to his clients. It needs excellent skills in listening and
ability of the counselor to demonstrate care and empathy. As a science, it requires the
use of scientific tools to obtain comprehension during the different stages of the
counseling process.

According Nystul (2003) there are six stages of the counseling process:
1. Stage 1- Relationship Building provides the force and foundation for the
counseling. Here there is a need to establish rapport, promote acceptance of the client
and promote relevant communication between the counselor and the counselee.
2. Stage 2- Assessment and Diagnosis offers appreciation of the client’s condition
and analysis of the root causes of the problem. Data gathered will be the diagnosis.
3. Stage 3- Formulation of Counseling Goals sets the direction of the counseling
process, its parameters of work and the client-counselor relationship. The client and
counselor must agree on their goals.
4. Stage 4- Intervention and Problem Solving comprises of the counseling goals,
strategies and intervention.
5. Stage 5- Termination and Follow- up progresses the client with the help of the
counselor.
6. Stage 6- Research and Evaluation can be taken at any point of the counseling
stage and provides scientific appreciation.

METHODS IN COUNSELING
There are different approaches and theoretical categories used in counseling
process. This includes psychoanalytical, affective, cognitive, and behavioral (Galding,
2000).
1. Classic Theories primed the underpinning of clinical practice.Most psychological
theories which were developed by Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Alfred Adler are
considered to be under the category of classic theories.
a. Freud’s Psychoanalytical Theory also known as psychoanalysis of the mind
which involves the discussion on ID, Ego and Superego. According to Nystul (2003) a
psychoanalytic counselor may use the following methods:
 Free association encourages discussion to suppress emotion.
 Dream analysis explores unconscious process using dreams.
 Confrontation and Clarification uses feedback procedure to determine
analysis.
 Interpretation gives insights of the patient’s inner conflicts.
b. Adler’s Individual Psychology focuses on the role of recognition in psychological
function. According to Nystul (2003) there are four phases of Adlerian Psychotheraphy
 Establishing relationship
 Performing Analysis and Assessment
 Promoting Insight
 Reorientation
c. Jung’s Analytic Psychology highlights the task of unconscious processes in
psychological functioning.
2. Experiential theories fall under affective which are concerned about generating
emotions of the clients to effect change.
A. Roger’s Person-Centered Counseling uses the “if and then” which considers
certain conditions exist in the counseling relationship until the client reaches self-
actualization.
B. Perls Gestalt Therapy centers on the approach on the here and now which
refers to the dialogue between the therapist and the client experience from the
inside and the how the counselor observes from the outside.

What’s I Have Learned

Counseling is a very challenging profession. It does not only imply education


but also skills and abilities. It is helping relationship that needs openness from the
side of the counselee and compassion, empathy and objectivity from the counselor.
Confidentiality is part and parcel in counseling session thus codes of ethics in
counseling must be uphold. As a student, it is vital to know what is counseling and
its process all about wherein human relationship is very important in no matter what
profession one chooses it is essential to know how to help people in their great
need.
