What are the principles of individual counseling?
Individual psychological counseling has its unique operating methods and skills, which are dominated by certain laws, and the concentrated expression of these laws is the principle of individual psychological counseling. Combining the principles of psychological counseling at home and abroad, combined with years of practical experience, individual psychological counseling should follow seven principles: sincerity, recommendation, understanding, integrity, difference, self-discipline and confidentiality.

First, the principle of sincerity

The principle of sincerity, also known as the principle of sincerity and credibility, is that the instructor meets the client frankly, expresses his own views frankly, and sincerely helps the client get rid of psychological confusion, thus giving the client a credible and reliable belief. This is the first condition for the success of individual psychological counseling.

Second, respect principle.

The principle of respect means that the tutor should respect the personality of the client and the practical problems of the client. Generally speaking, customers have suffered certain psychological setbacks. Their self-esteem was hurt or threatened with injury, and they felt that no one could understand their pain before they came to the consulting room for help. If the tutor can respect the client, then this respect is a "good medicine" in itself. Some customers went to the consulting room and cried several times, and their painful emotions were vented. The "heart disease" was cured because he (she) felt that the counselor respected him (her) and understood him (her).

Third, the principle of understanding.

Understanding means being able to experience the spiritual world of others, just like examining your own spiritual world. "Understanding" and "sympathy" are different concepts. Compassion only involves the emotional comfort and material help of the other party. Understand to enter each other's spiritual world. The principle of understanding requires the tutor to enter the spiritual world of the client, just like entering his own spiritual world, and requires the tutor to understand and share the various loads of the client.

Fourth, the general principle.

The principle of wholeness is that instructors should use the viewpoint of system theory to guide them. Attention should be paid to the overall relationship between psychological quality and psychological problems of visitors, and the internal relationship between individual psychology and family, school and social environment. Dialectical materialism tells us that the whole world is a unified whole that is universally pursued, and there are no isolated things. People's psychological obstacles are not only related to people's whole psychological activities, but also related to social environment, family influence and school education. A tutor must have a thorough and comprehensive understanding of all parties involved.

Five, the principle of difference

The principle of difference, also known as the principle of pertinence, means that tutors should pay attention to the individual differences of the parties when giving psychological counseling to students, so as to be targeted and treat them differently.

Six, the principle of self-discipline

The principle of self-discipline, also known as the party-centered principle, is that the instructor helps the parties to tap their psychological potential and overcome psychological obstacles. Each party has rich psychological potential, and the duty of the psychological counselor is to help the parties explore these potentials, form a strong positive internal driving force, and eliminate the psychological obstacles that the parties have at the moment.

Seven. Principle of confidentiality

The principle of confidentiality, also known as the principle of privacy, refers to the personal privacy of the parties-unwilling to disclose their own experiences, life background, current situation, etc. The tutor must keep a secret absolutely. This is a basic principle of individual psychological counseling.
