Basic Principles of Counseling Process
• According to Mc Daniel and Shaftal,
the counseling process is based on
some principles:
• Principle of Acceptance
According to this principle, each
client must be accepted as an
individual and dealt with as such.
The counselor should give, due
regard to the rights of the client.
 Basic Principles of Counseling Process
• Principle of Permissiveness
• Counseling is such a
relationship which develops
optimism and the
environment shapes
according to the person. All
the thoughts accept the
relative relationship of
counseling.
 Basic Principles of Counseling Process
• Principle of Respect for the
Individual
• All the schools of thoughts of
counseling advocate for the
respect of the individual i.e.,
respecting an individual’s
feelings must be an integral
part of counseling process.
 Basic Principles of Counseling Process
• Principle of Thinking with the Individual
• Counseling emphasizes thinking with
the individual. It is essential to
differentiate think for whom? And
‘why to think’? It is the role of the
counselor to think about all the forces
around the client to join the client’s
thought process and to work
collectively with the client regarding
his problem.
Basic Principles of Counseling Process
• Principles of Learning
• All the assumptions of counseling accept the presence of
learning elements in the counseling process.
 Basic Principles of Counseling Process
• Principle of Consistency with Ideals
of Democracy
• All the principles are associated
with the ideals of democracy. The
ideals of democracy desire to
accept a person and want to
respect the rights of others.
Types of Counseling
• Supportive Counseling – is most
often used with people who have
difficulty standing alone amid
their problems. In supportive
counseling, the goal is not to
create a chronic dependency
upon the counselor, but to give
temporary support and help the
person to gain strength and the
resources to cope.
Types of Counseling
• Confrontational Counseling – seeks to
point out to the client his or her actions.
The counselor guides the counselee into
seeing what misdeeds were committed
and to realize the hurt that might have
been caused to others. The idea is that
hiding one’s immoral actions only
creates guilt, frustration, and anxiety. As
a Christian, the counselor must help the
client to confess, forsake his sins, and
accept the forgiveness of a loving Savior.
Types of Counseling
• Educative Counseling –
focuses on teaching the
client. The undesirable
learned behavior may have
to be unlearned. The
counselor in this case is a
teacher.
Types of Counseling
• Preventive Counseling – is used to
stop problems before they start or
to prevent things from getting
worse. Areas like “How to Keep
Healthy,” “How to Prepare for
Retirement,” or sessions in
premarital counseling are
examples of preventive counseling.
Types of Counseling
• Spiritual Counseling – is a great necessity,
and the Christian often seeks the
opportunity to show persons the way to
Christ. Sometimes there will be persons
who want to find spiritual answers. People
may be seeking for a purpose in life. This is
a chance for the Christian counselor to lead
them to the Bible and to pray with them.
Sometimes, through spiritual counseling
the counselor may discover that the client
also has some psychological issues that
need to be dealt with.
 Types of Counseling
• Depth Counseling – is a long-term
relationship in which deep-seated
problems of the counselee are
uncovered and dealt with in detail.
The counseling process is extended
and demands the skills of a
counseling professional. This type of
counseling is not for the layperson. Do
not play around with depth counseling
if you are not a professional therapist.
Types of Counseling
• Informal Counseling – takes place in a
casual setting. Perhaps on a hospital
visit, or during an informal home visit,
the counselor may be drawn into a
conversation where their help might be
asked for. Or you may meet a friend on
the street and ask, “How are you today?”
Then you may be told of a problem that
he or she is experiencing. Your time and
concern could be of help at that time.
Informal counseling may not seem very
important, but it has helped many.
