mental illness.

any mental health practltloner
and share his or her concerns
so that he or she can deal
with them effectively.

the factors in hi or her
problem.

discipline.

IV. PROCEDURES
ASSESSMENT
1. How does counselling help a person with mental
health issues?
2. How does one meet the goals of counselling?

VALUESINTEGRATION
It is imperative to raise
awareness and correct
misconceptions about
mental health.

⚫ Get book and turn in to page 14.
⚫ Let us answer item #s 1-5 (Recitation)

⚫ The counsellor plays an important
role; he tries to direct the thinking of
counselee by informing , explaining,
interpreting and advising.
⚫ It gives more importance to
intellectual aspect than emotional
aspects.

Counsellor –centred:
⚫ The counsellor direct the client
to take steps in order to resolve
his conflicts.
⚫ It is based on assumption that
the client cannot solve his own
roblems for lack of information.

● CARL R. ROGER is the chief
exponent in this viewpoint.
● It is also known as permissive
counselling.
● It is a client-centred process.

● In this, the counselee is the pivot of
the whole counselling process.
● The main function of the counsellor is to
create an atmosphere in which the client can
work out his problem.

Ethical Dimension of
Counselling

1. INFORMED CONSENT
process that involves
sharing sufficient
information with the
client so the client
can make an
informed decision
about participation in
the proposed course
of treatment.
With regard to:
✔ how much
information to share
in this process,
✔ what specific
information should
be shared,
✔ when it should be
shared, and in what
format(s)

2. CONFIDENTIALITY
is an important aspect of counseling. This means
that under normal circumstances no one outside
the Counseling Center is given any information —
even the fact that you have been here — without
your expressed written consent.
A client who doesn't trust the counselor is unlikely to be
honest about their feelings and problems, so he or she
may never receive the necessary help to cope with these
issues.

3. PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT
Counsellors shoudl always consider the welfare
and protection of his/her client.
As professionals, counsellors
continue to pursue academic and
professional development for
continuous accreditation.

VALUESINTEGRATION
“It is the ultimate goal of
counselling to make every
individual a useful and productive
member of society.”
