Important Principles of Counseling
Before undertaking any therapeutic session
of counseling, one must train prepare the
counselor for his job
...


For counselling it is all the more essential to
spell out the principles because counselling
draws heavily upon a number of disciplines
for it’s own approaches
...


a
...
There should be no
discrimination
...
It can be given in groups or individually
...

No discrimination depending on the nature
on the problem faced in the client

c
...

An eclectic approach sometimes is
more useful than any one technique
...
It is only an assistance and not advice
giving
...

perspective

e
...

By solving others’ problems you are
making them dependant on you

fish, but teach me to catch fish, for if I learn to
catch fish I will not need your fish

...
If a
person is blind he can still use his other
senses to help him in learning many
things
...
But this faith and optimism should not
be based on sentiments
...


If a school boy has consistently failed
poorly in his examination and your
ability tests also show a poor learning
potential then out of sentimentalism
you tell him “ never mind, this time
you will surely do well”
...

Instead help him to face objective
reality and help him to find an area in
which he can succeed and become
vocationally selfself- sufficient
...
The counselor must generate the
skill of ”empathy” and avoid
showing “sympathy”
J
...
The
counselor give due regard to the
right of client
...
Building up of trust and maintenance
of total confidence is another principle to
be achieved
...

confidentially
...
Trust can be furthered by showing
respect to the client
...
One way of showing
respect is by giving full attention to
the individual and listening carefully to
what he says
...


m
...
Rigidity can
ruin a good counselling session
...


n
...

”
...
Actions, thoughts
and feelings must be blended to give a
totality of an individual
...

”
...

People are relatively good or bad and
changeable
...
The counsellor should not think in
terms of his “satisfaction
“satisfaction”
” on
outcome of the counselling session
...

The principle should be to understand
the needs of the individual in relation
to social goals and then to achieve
plan of action which may also be
satisfying and ultimately leading to
happiness
...
A
counsellor must be trained and acquire
many skills of communication, human
relation, sensitivity before he takes up
this delicate job
...
The
counsellor therefore has to be very
cautious in his approach
