The five steps of psychological consultation are: listening, distinguishing, asking questions, reflecting and guiding.
Psychological counseling can alleviate and guide individual emotional problems or development confusion, support individual self-adjustment and development, and improve individual self-management and interpersonal relationships.
Psychological counseling is not a profession, but a job skill, which is suitable for many professional posts and can also be used to improve personal and family life.
There are six professional areas of psychological counseling: community correction psychological counseling, community management psychological counseling, enterprise management psychological counseling, marriage and family psychological counseling, old-age nursing psychological counseling, and professional psychological counseling of educational consultants.
Psychological counseling is mainly based on humanistic psychology and cognitive psychology, which is closer to Adlerism in technology and application and has a lot in common.
