PROCESSES IN COUNSELING

 Individual counseling is counseling focused on the


individual's immediate or near future concerns.
Individual counseling may encompass career counseling
and planning, grief after a loved one dies or dealing with
problems at a job before they become big. Individual
counseling is a one-on-one discussion between the
counselor and the client, who is the person seeking
treatment. The two form an alliance, relationship or
bond that enables trust and personal growth.
PROCESSES IN COUNSELING

 Group counseling is counseling with multiple


individuals facing a similar concern. The strength in
group counseling is that if you have 3, 5 or 10 people
together all facing the same issue or similar issues, then
they can work together. For example, group counseling
is common for those in the midst of a divorce. The
individuals in the group act as a source of insight and
support while reinforcing the idea that each individual
is not the only one experiencing these problems.
PROCESSES IN COUNSELING

 Family counseling is counseling focused on family


dynamics, immediate concerns, and the near future.
Family counseling, which brings together the
members of a family as a group, is similar to group
counseling. An issue that affects a family, like disease,
death or simply people not getting along, may all
warrant family counseling.

 Testing, which is defined as collecting information to


analyze and evaluate a client to identify problems,
plan for treatment, and aid in diagnosing.
