  3. “Counselling is that interaction between two individuals to find a solution to the problems, which have an emotional angle, of one individual. Such a solution usually includes behavioral change in the individual in the individual whose problems are being discussed.” (Pepinsky and Pepensky, 1954). • Counselling can be done with individual or group or with couples.

  4. PURPOSE OF COUNSELLING • Counselling helps a person to identify the problems that a person faces. • Another purpose of counselling includes helping a person to use the problem solving skills or the decision skills that they have to solve the problem. • Counselling also helps a person to master new skills during the counselling process. • Counselling helps to give an opportunity for the counselee to come up with solutions based on their choices and their abilities. • To help them identify different areas to concentrate in their life.

  5. 1. DIRECTIVE COUNSELLING- This was put forward by E.G.Williamson. • This is also known as counsellor-centered. • The counsellor works with the viewpoint that the client does not have the skill to solve his/her problems or lacks information. • The counsellor guides the client in taking each step to solve their existing problems.

  6. 2. NON DIRECTIVE COUNSELLING- This was put forward by Carl Rogers. • It is also known as client centered. • In this counselling process the counsellor provides an atmosphere where the client is allowed to come up with solutions to solve their problems as the therapist believe that the client does have the skills to solve their problem. • 3.ECCLECTIC COUNSELLING- This was put forward by Thorne. • In this type of counselling the counsellor takes a middle stand of not being too active nor being too silent.

ETHICAL PRINCIPLES FOLLOWED BY COUNSELLORS 1)Responsibility Counsellors should be aware of their function and should take responsibility of their action. 2)Competence A counsellor works in a particular area only if he/she is trained in that area. 3)Moral and Legal Standards Each counsellor has their moral standards. They should try to maintain their client’s trust. 4)Public statements Should not make statements for personal gains. 5)Confidentiality Information about the client should not be revealed unless its necessary and with permission.

  9. 6)Welfare of the consumer People has different problems and their welfare should be protected. 7)Professional relationship They should have a professional relationship and do not disclose more than what is required. 8)Assessment technique Psychologist should help individuals in concluding with the results. 9)Research with Human Participants Psychologists carries out investigations taking into consideration of the dignity and welfare of the people. They should also follow the rules and regulations.

  10. COUNSELLING PROCESSES • Relationship building- The initial section is important as the client and the counsellor creates a relationship which is acceptable for a counselling section. Rapport building is an important element which helps in relationship building. • Problem Assessment- As the counsellor is able to establish a good relationship with the client he/she then focuses on identifying the problems that the client is in search of help. • Goal Setting-As the counsellor is able to find the problems, the next part the counsellor has to do is to create a set of goals along with the client in order to make the further sessions effective. Otherwise both the client and counsellor will be clueless as in how to move forward and what to achieve. • Intervention- This is where the counsellor will be giving different therapies or task which helps the client to come out of their problem. • Evaluation/follow-up/termination/referral- The final stage is where both the counsellor and client looks whether the counselling session was successful, when they have to met, providing home works, if the problem has solved then the termination will occur and if the counsellor needs to refer the client then that happens in this process.
