Professional Counseling: History, Roles, and Identity
Abstract
The relevance of counseling as a helping profession cannot be overstated. This is more so the case taking into consideration the role counseling plays towards the facilitation of the development of not only an individual but also a family or even a group. This text mainly concerns itself with role certification, licensure as well as accreditation play in the counseling profession. Further, I will also highlight how my experiences, thoughts, values, beliefs and personality influence my view of the world in conjunction with my role as a counselor.
