Personal Philosophy of Counseling
One counseling approach that has always resonated with me is the Transtheoretical Model of Change (2016). This suggests that every client moves through six different stages on the way to making a positive change in his or her life, beginning with pre-contemplation and ending with termination, or the desire to maintain the change that has occurred. As a counselor, I see myself as a facilitator of change in every client’s life. Ultimately, it is the client who must make the change and take the steps to alter his or her environment and perspective. But the counselor has a vital role in ensuring that the client knows that a change needs to be made during the pre-contemplation stage, can help the client to understand when and how to start making changes. The counselor can identify negative self-talk that can inhibit change.
My view of human nature is influenced both by humanist and behavioral approaches. I agree with the humanist belief that all human beings wish to realize their maximum potential, even though internal obstacles such as low self-esteem can prevent this. I believe in the need for the therapist to create an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard for the client, so the client...
It is very important for the counselor to understand the psychological perspective of the client, even if the client sees him or herself in an irrational way. From the cognitive behavioral school of counseling, however, I also believe in the need for counselors to help clients set positive goals for themselves to target behaviors that no longer serve the client and to promote improvement (Cherry 2016). An important part of building a client’s self-esteem is to show the client how to overcome his or her fears and negative thought processes.
Given the sensitivity of information that is exchanged within the counseling relationship, counselors must be aware of current legal and ethical standards. Trust in counselor confidentiality is vital, and particularly in today’s age of social media, knowing what is appropriate to disclose to another person, even casually, is essential. It is also important that clients understand ethical standards in regards to minor clients and how much they should or should not disclose to the minor’s parents. Finally, legal guidelines regarding when it may be necessary to break confidentiality is also important, such as…

Counseling Determine and explain the key steps you would take in opening the negotiation session. The previous scenario was negotiation on the purchase of computers for the government. I would start off on a friendly basis reminding the other party why we are here and reminding them of their interest in accomplishing the deal. In this way, I have laid the basis for a meeting that would hopefully be perceived as friendly
Counseling Theories Socializing the client is an important approach in cognitivebehavioral therapy. It is visible in this video session with the manners the doctor is showing. She is showing very good explanatory manners. Introducing herself to the client, she goes on to elaborate what is going to happen and how they are about to take this process. In other words, it is very crucial to inform the client about what is
Counseling Master Questionnaire Counseling Questionnaire Define research A counseling session with an individual may qualify research as, putting together of information and understandings, followed by determination of validity of the conclusions and activities central on the shared knowledge (McLeod, 2003 p.4). A working definition of research is; an organized course of decisive investigation resulting to legitimate suggestions and conclusions, which are conveyed to other interested people. Based on this definition, there are several
Counseling: Its Philosophy, Nature, And Dynamics It is my view that science has provided an opportunity to discover and delve into the nature of humanity and the daily interactions that occur everyday among people. The development of psychology as a science had been pivotal in allowing modern society to know about the trends in attitude and behavior among humans. More specifically, it is through the area of counseling that I am
Counseling Theory Existential therapy, person-centered therapy, and gestalt therapy all fall under the rubric of humanistic psychology. They share a considerable amount of theory, philosophy, and practice. Yet each of these practices is stemmed in its own theoretical framework; therefore, existential, person-centered, and gestalt therapies differ in key ways. Recent scholarship on existential, person-centered, and gestalt therapies builds on the rich canon of literature in these three core humanistic traditions, but
