COUNSELING AND ITS WORK

SETTINGS
1.Counselors in Schools
•According to Gibson and Mitchell (2003),
counselors are recognized especially in the
preventive interventions and
developmental stage.
•The counseling service in the schools is
usually located under the student affairs
program.
2.Counselors in Community Setting
Counselors can be found in
community and mental health
agencies, employment and
rehabilitation agencies, correctional
settings, and marriage and family
practice (Gibson and Mitchell, 2003).
3.Counselors in the Private Sector
• This setting refers to counselors who decided to
do full time work as private practitioners or
engage in part-time private practice while
employed by community agencies. This is
feasible if the counselors' expertise and
s p e c i a l i zat i o n m atc h e s o r re l e va nt to a
adequate client population in the geographic
area (Gibson and Mitchell, 2003)

PROCESSES IN COUNSELING

•The counseling process is


considered as an art and a science.
Six Stages of the Counseling Process
1. Stage One: Relationship Buiding
- heart of the counseling process
- This stage involves establishing rapport, promote acceptance
of the client as a person with worth, establishing genuine
interaction, promote direct mutual communication, helping
clients understand themselves, helping client focus and slowly
promote counseling relevant communication from the client.
(Tylus, 2003)
2. Stage Two: Assessment and Diagnosis

The assessment and diagnosis stage is one of the most


crucial stages. This serves as the window for the
counselor to have a thorough appreciation of the
client's condition.
3. Formulation of Counseling Goals
Goals are important as it sets the direction of the
counseling process.
a. Process goals institute the circumstances needed to
make the counseling work progress, which includes
promoting a good relationship.
b. The outcome goals stipulate the desire of the client
in terms of the counseling process.
4. Intervention and Problem-Solving
Upon formulation of the counseling goals, the strategies
for intervention may now be outlined.
The guidelines include the following:
(a) the counselor has to provide a mapping of the
different approaches offered,
(b) describe the role of the counselor and client for each
procedure,
(c) identify possible risks and benefits that may come
and
(d) estimate the time and cost of each procedure.
5. Termination and Follow-up
The essential goal in counseling to witness a client progress on
his/her own without the assistance of the counselor. There are
four components of termination which were identified by
Quintan and Holahan (1992) as cited in Tysul (2003):
a. Discussion of the end of counseling
b. Review of the course of counseling
c. Closure of the counselor-client relationship
d. Discussion of the client's future and post-counseling plan
These four components indicate that the client-
counselorrelationship must be ended aptly.
6. Research and Evaluation
Research and evaluation are fundamental
part of the evaluation.
Results of the research provide a scientific
appreciation of the counseling situation.
Role Playing: What if I am the Counselor?
Instruction: 1. To determine your appreciation of the counseling
processes, you are required to perform a role play depicting the
different stages of the counseling processes.
2. The class will be divided into smaller groups. Each group will
identify a typical youth counseling case (.e., victim of bullying,
difficulty)
3. Divide the tasks (counselor, client, friends of the client, family of
theclient, etc.) among your group members.
4. Develop the plot and storyline and present it in class.
