2. Counselor cover letter sample 1
Dear Mr Jackson
This letter is in response to your online advertisement for a Counsellor.
The nature of my studies, skills, qualifications and work experience is perfectly matched to
your job requirements. I possess comprehensive expertise in those fields mentioned in
the job description, namely; issues of depression, eating disorders and addictions. All of
these coupled with my compassion, vision and relentless enthusiasm make me an ideal
candidate for your role.
I greatly enjoy having the opportunity to make a real difference to some one’s life by
helping them to focus on their accomplishments and reflect on past successes rather than
setbacks. I have over three years experience of counselling and treating clients for a range
of complex psychosocial issues in community, clinical and private settings. As someone
who holds a handful of recognised Counselling qualifications, I am also academically
accredited in the right departments.
In my present role I manage a caseload of service users with complex needs, but my real
expertise lies in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, women’s issues and
health-related psychosocial issues. Furthermore, I have spearheaded case
evaluations, psychological profiles and treatment plans for people with special needs.
I hope you will agree with me when I say that my abilities and experience precisely
matches your requirements, and I very much hope you will invite me for an interview.

Dear Mr Jackson
Cover letter
sample
I am writing to apply for the position of Counselor at The University of Florida. I graduated
in psychology from Waldon University as an honors student. The nature of my
studies, skills and work experience is much related to your job requirements. My
compassion, vision and relentless enthusiasm will be a very valuable asset for The
University of Florida.
As noted on my resume, I have a keen interest in the development and practice of
techniques to enhance personal, academic and social performance. Due to my natural
interest in the field of counseling psychology, I chose to work with teenagers and
professionals in both the beginning and midst of their careers.
Till date, I have helped in selecting the right course/career, improving grades/performance
at work and increasing social skills. The feedback I continue to receive is very encouraging
and pleasing. Building a rapport with an individual or group comes to me quite easily.
Moreover, I am able to analyze and diagnose obstacles to growth. The next step is always
the simplest: motivating the individual to create a better mental picture of him. My
achievements at the center included a certificate for meritorious services.
Furthermore, I have a demonstrated ability to work well independently as well as with a
part of team or under supervision. You will find me creative in my approach and very open
to new ideas.
I am confident that you will find in me a progressive counselor who will be able to
motivate your members to succeed in their lives. I would like to meet you in order to
discuss this position in detail for which I’ll call your office after one week to set an
appointment. Alternatively, I can be reached at (001) 991-1991. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
Yours sincerely
