The song made me realize that


everyone needs someone to
listen to them, someone who
can lean on and I think
counseling is one of the best
choose if you don’t have that
someone.
Counselors use interviews, counseling sessions,
interest, and aptitude.
Counselors also gave some assessment tests, and
other methods to evaluate and advise students. They
also operate career information centers and career
education programs.

What is Principle?

A principle is a proposition or value that is a guide for behavior or evaluation. In law, it is a rule that has to be or
usually is to be followed, or can be desirably followed, or is an inevitable consequence of something, such as the laws
observed in nature or the way that a system is constructed (Wikipedia) It serves as the foundation for a system of belief
or behavior or for a chain of reasoning. It is morally correct behavior and attitudes.

In counseling, its practitioners are guided by the Basic Principles of Counseling that serve as their reference and basis of
theory actions, behavior and in decision making.

Question: What do you think are the acceptable behaviors of a counselor?

Counselor must be genuinely engaged in the therapeutic relationship, have unconditional positive regard, feel
empathy, and communicate these attitudes. Counseling is a process between a client and therapist to explore
difficulties, learn to see things clearly, and facilitate positive change.

Basic Principles of Counseling

1. Principles of Learning – the presence of the learning elements in the entire process are accepted and recognized.

2. Principles of Acceptance – the counselors show positive regards and accept the client irrespective of who she/he is.
The client should be given due regards= to his/her rights.

3. Principles of Permissiveness- developing optimism through professional relationship allow freedom of choice and
behavior.

4. Principle of Respect for the Individual - This is an attitude, which portrays the belief that every person is a worthy
being that is competent to decide what he or she really wants, has the potential for growth, and has the abilities to
achieve what he or she really wants from life.

5. Principle of Thinking with the Individual – It is the role of the counselor to put him/herself in the shoes of the
counselee in order to analyze his/her thoughts,
Counselors should enter the helping process with a sincere respect for their clients, an open and genuine attitude, and
intention of helping their clients to empower themselves and take responsibility for their own lives.

Counseling is handled by professionals - Counseling has made progress toward recognition as a profession at a rate
comparable with that of professionalization efforts in other mental health disciplines, such as psychology
