Principles of Counseling
The principles of counseling can be found in the basic process of counseling since they
govern each and every step: developing trust; exploring problem areas; helping to set
goals; empowering into action; helping to maintain change; and agreeing when to end.
(Velleman, 2001)

The principles of counseling

DIFINITION THE PRINCIPLES OF COUNSELING
1. Advice
Counseling may involve advice-giving as one of the several functions that counselors
perform. When this is done, the requirement is that a counselor makes judgments
about a counselee’s problems and lays out options for a course of action.
2. Reassurance
Counseling involves providing clients with reassurance, which is a way of giving them
courage to face a problem or confidence that they are pursuing a suitable course of
action. Reassurance is a valuable principle because it can bring about a sense of relief
that may empower a client to function normally again.
3. Release of emotional tension
Counseling provides clients the opportunity to get emotional release from their pent-
up frustrations and other personal issues. Counseling experience shows that as
persons begin to explain their concerns to a sympathetic listener, their tensions begin
to subside. They become more relaxed and the release of tensions helps remove
mental blocks by providing a solution to the problem.
4. Clarified thinking
It tends to take place while the counselor and counselee are talking and therefore
becomes a logical emotional release. As this relationship goes on, other self-
empowering results may take place later as a result of developments during the
counseling relationship. Clarified thinking encourages a client to accept responsibility
for problems and to be more realistic in solving them.
5. Reorientation
It involves a change in the client’s emotional self through a change in basic goals and
aspirations. This requires a revision of the client’s level of aspiration to bring it more
in line with actual and realistic attainment. It enables clients to recognize and accept
their own limitations. The counselor’s job is to recognize those in need of reorientation
and facilitate appropriate interventions.
2
6. Listening skills
Listening attentively to clients is the counselor’s attempt to understand both the
content of the clients’ problem as they see it, and the emotions they are experiencing
related to the problem. Good listening helps counselors to understand the concerns
being presented.
7. Respect
In all circumstances, clients must be treated with respect, no matter how peculiar,
strange, disturbed, weird, or utterly different from the counselor. Without this basic
element, successful counseling is impossible. Counselors do not have to like the
client, or their values, or their behavior, but they have to put their personal feelings
aside and treat the client with respect.
8. Empathy and positive regard
Carl Rogers combined empathy and positive regard as two principles that should go
along with respect and effective listening skills. Empathy requires the counselor to
listen and understand the feelings and perspective of the client and positive regard is
an aspect of respect. For Rogers, clients have to be given both “unconditional positive
regard” and be treated with respect.
9. Clarification, confrontation, and interpretation
Clarification is an attempt by the counselor to restate what the client is either saying
or feeling, so the client may learn something or understand the issue better.
Confrontation and interpretation are other more advanced principles used by
counselors in their interventions.
10. Transference and countertransference
When clients are helped to understand transference reactions, they are empowered
to gain understanding of important aspects of their emotional life.
Countertransference helps both clients and counselors to understand the emotional
and perceptional reactions and how to effectively manage them.
