Importance Of Counseling In Counseling

Counselors can talk about counseling as change or growth. Or they can talk about counseling as a on going process or product. The process can be used to enhance the lives of people who are seeking to change their relationships, to develop self-understanding, to learn how to anticipate and meet life’s challenges or offers a way to gain a new perspective on one’s behavior, emotions and relationships .If counselors go very deeply into an examination of these alternatives, it also becomes apparent that they are beginning to talk about philosophical, cultural, and spiritual issues as well as psychological or interpersonal concerns. How counselors view these issues and concerns will determine what they practice in counseling. Certainly, counselors use theory to explain or conceptualize client problems. In addition, they may use theory to dictate what they do in the counseling process. Thus counseling theories are extremely important to counseling professionals. It gives a framework for integrity between understanding, interpretation and, ultimately, action. Consistency and integrity are important in order to achieve goals in the most efficient and effective way. If we don’t have a consistent framework to view the client’s issue through, then how can we go about helping them address it in the most efficient way.
