COUNSELLING OBJECTIVES

2. Objectives

3. Objectives
 Counselling is an activity that is different from advice-giving,
guiding, caring and teaching, even though it embraces aspects
of all these helping processes.
 Being a counselor is also a satisfying and rewarding work role.
It is always a great privilege to be allowed to be a witness and
companion to someone who is facing their own worst fears and
dilemmas.
 Being a counselor is very challenging. There is always more to
learn. Where else in our society is there the opportunity to be
heard, taken seriously, understood, to receive focused attention
of a caring person for hours at a time without being asked to
give anything in return?

4. Objectives…..
 Counselling is a principled relationship characterized by the
application of one or more psychological theories and a
recognized set of communication skills, modified by
experience, intuition and other interpersonal factors, to clients’
intimate concerns, problems or aspirations.
 Its predominant ethos is one of facilitation rather than of
advice-giving or coercion.
 It may be of very brief or long duration, take place in an
organizational or private practice setting and may or may not
overlap with practical, medical and other matters of personal
welfare.

5. Objectives…….
 Counselling is an emerging profession.
 It is a service sought by people in distress or in some degree of
confusion who wish to discuss and resolve these in a
relationship which is more disciplined and confidential than
friendship, and perhaps less stigmatizing than helping
relationships offered in traditional medical or psychiatric
settings.
 It is both a distinctive activity undertaken by people agreeing to
occupy the rules of counselor and client.
