LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON
Activity 1.1 True or False
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
We all experience periods of sadness, worry, and stress. All of us go through
difficult times in our lives When we experience struggles in life, we tend to seek out
the support of somebody like the counselors who can give us pieces of advice.
Seeking out counselor’s help does not mean that we are “weak”; instead, this
proves that we have the courage to willingly examine ourselves.
The purpose of counseling is to assist others to gain greater insight into their
lives hoping to find answers to their questions in life. This process requires a
skillful counselor to build that helping relationship with clients. The big questions
are: Who are the clients that need counseling? When and why do they need it?

Clientele and Audiences
1 in Counseling
The clientele and audiences of the counselling services come from different
settings. Individuals, organizations, and communities or group of people with
varying needs seek help from counseling services.
The needs vary for each type of clientele and audience of counseling. In the
school context, guidance and counseling aims to address needs such as job-
hunting, coaching, conflict management, and many others. While in other settings,
cases vary from marriage counseling, drug addiction and rehabilitation, as well as
bereavement to cases of abuse and traumatic experiences. Whether in group or
individual, those who avail counseling services are the clientele and audiences of
counseling.
6
Conducting community counseling is essential in times of calamity or
natural disasters and other events that cause stress to people in the community.
Experiencing traumatic events is something that requires collective action in
reaching out through therapeutic activities. The community looks for assistance to
combat post traumatic events and counseling empowers them to go on with their
lives. They are also encouraged to release the danger of blocking their own capacity
to move on from distress.

Settings, Processes, Methods
2 and Tools in Counseling
Counselling often has a stigma associated with it, given the history of
how mental health issues have been addressed in our society. The reality is, we all
struggle with life problems and anyone can benefit from counselling. We usually
have tendencies to find relief when we want to express our thoughts and feelings
when we have problems. But sometimes friends or family members may not have
the skills necessary to help us get deep into an issue. It is not something that is
just for people who want to help others. This human journey in counseling is
sometimes complex that not only it needs to fit in proper settings, processes, and
methods but also to use different tools to cater to whatever is needed.

B. PROCESSES OF COUNSELING
The first step involves building relationship and gaining the trust of the
counselee while establishing the client’s condition at the same time. It focuses on
engaging clients to explore issues that directly affect them. This is the diagnostic
procedure that may range from systematic observation to conducting a formal
survey using a questionnaire in order to determine the needs of the client. It is the
heart of the counseling process that serves as the foundation of success. It entails
analysis of the root causes of the problem. The data gathered will be utilized in the
formulation of the intervention program.
Goals are important because they set the direction of the counseling process.
They serve as the parameter of the intervention program. This step involves the
collection and classification of information about the client’s life situation and
reasons for seeking counseling. It also involves setting an agreement between the
counselor and the counselee after formulating goals and program plan.
This comprises the actual process of the outlined mapping of strategies for
intervention that entails client’s active participation in the process of helping
themselves. This is where goals play an important role in giving direction. It
involves making a commitment to achieve the set goals.

Step 4: Counseling Processes /Monitoring and Evaluation
Counselor are always mindful and careful in dealing with clients to avoid
fostering dependency. It is important that the clients realize their own needs. That
is why preparation for termination begins long before the actual termination period.
Terminating the counseling process is also considered when it seems counseling is
not being helpful. Think of this as means of empowering clients and creating an
awareness to review their own progress and to create closure between the client
and the counselor
C. METHODS OF COUNSELING
Adlerian Approach
Behavioral Approach
This therapy is based on the belief that behavior is learnt in response to past
experiences and can be unlearnt or reconditioned without analyzing the past to
find the reason for such behavior. It works well for compulsive and obsessive
behavior, fears, phobias, and addictions.
10
Cognitive Analytical Approach
This combines Cognitive and Behavioral techniques. Clients are taught ways
to change thoughts and expectations using relaxation techniques. It has been
effective for stress-related ailments, phobias, obsessions, eating disorders and
major depression.
Cognitive Approach
This approach uses the power of the mind to influence behavior. It is based
on the theory that previous experiences can damage self-image and this can affect
attitude, emotions, and ability to deal with certain situations. It works by helping
the client to identify, question, and change poor mental images of themselves, thus
altering negative responses and behavior. It can help pessimistic or
depressed people to view things from a more optimistic perspective.
DBT was developed from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). The main aim of
CBT is to change behavior, which is done by applying techniques with a focus on
problem-solving, such as homework, diary cards and behavioral analysis. However,
some people felt uncomfortable with the strong focus on change and felt that their
suffering and apparent loss of control over their lives were not understood. This
caused them to become frustrated and even to drop out of treatment. Therapists
sought to resolve this using acceptance strategies. Acceptance strategies are added
to the process of CBT which means that the therapists explore with their clients an
acceptance that their behavior (e.g. self-harming, drinking, etc.), although
damaging in the long term, may be the only way they have learned to deal with
intense emotions, and which might have led to positive short term benefits.
This is used to treat a family system rather than individual members of the
family. It is a form of Systemic Approach that requires specifically trained
counsellors.
11
Gestalt Approach
Developed by Fritz Perls, the term is derived from the German word for
“organized whole”. It focuses on the whole of the client’s experience, including
feelings, thoughts and actions. The client gains self-awareness in the `here and
now’ by analyzing behavior and body language and talking about bottled up
feelings. This approach often includes acting out scenarios and dream recall.
Humanistic Approach
Integrative Approach
Mindfulness Approach
Person-Centered Approach
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy/Counselling
12
focuses on the client/therapist relationship (the dynamics) and, on the
transference. Transference is when the client projects onto the therapist feelings
experienced in previous significant relationships. The Psychodynamic approach is
derived from Psychoanalysis but usually provides a quicker solution to emotional
problems.
D. TOOLS OF COUNSELING
1. Non-testing tools
These types of tools are usually used for individual assessment without any
intention of testing the individual. These tools are generally developed by the
counselor and /or teachers themselves. These are: interview, observation,
anecdotal record, cumulative records, checklist, rating scale, sociometry,
autobiography, and diary.
2. Psychological testing
This could be ability test like achievement and aptitude or personality test.
Psychological test provides information about the individual’s psychological
characteristics such as intelligence, aptitude, interests, abilities, and personality.
Before selection, test of reliability, validity, practicability, etc. should be clearly
looked for. Psychological tests are mainly divided into two categories: Ability and
Personality Test. Ability tests composed of aptitude and achievement test, while
achievement tests are used as academic placement devices rather than as selection
instruments. Aptitude tests are particularly used to estimate the extent to which an
individual would profit from a specific course or training to predict the quality of
his/her achievement in each situation.
