Types of Counselling and Psychotherapy
The most typical question I'm asked by people making a first enquiry is 'What kind of counselling do you are doing?'
What's normally meant by this is, 'What types of trouble do you offer counselling for?' Most counsellors and psychotherapists, myself included, do not specialise in one kind of issue, as all problems or difficulties thinking have similarities and changing feelings, and mostly respond to therapy in similar manners.
(businesspress24) - The most frequent question people about counselling, making a first enquiry ask me is ''What kind of counselling do you do?''
Most counsellors and psychotherapists, myself included, do not specialise in one type of issue, as all issues or difficulties believing have similarities and changing feelings, and mostly react to treatment in similar ways.
Most counselling and psychotherapy deals with the entire individual, and doesn''t typically separate off one thing they''re thinking or feeling or doing.
This is just a general rule, however. There are several treatments which do specialise in particular kinds of issue, often ones which apply a unique option-based approach. Counselling for dependence is an obvious example, a specialism which usually includes a progressive, guided programme. Others might be bereavement or eating issues. Specific section of the populace, including women or young people, might also be recognized as groups needing a specialist approach to some extent, but on the whole these use the exact same techniques as some other psychological counselling. The key difference could be that the bureau has received funding for this, continues to be set up to cope with that particular problem or group, and so concentrates it is resources because area. A person counsellor or psychothearpist may deal in a particlar area as it''s notably interested them, or they''ve done extra training inside, or perhaps had special experience of the problem themselves.
There are a number or appraoches, broadly divisible to the three regions of Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Cognitve-Behavioural. A short description of every type of tactic plus the subdivisions of it''s is beyond the range of this article.
Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy
The customer is considered to be fundamentally trustworthy, that he/she knows someplace, somehow, that they will have a desire for growth, and what they require. The counsellor might help help the customer to utilise them and bring these into comprehension.
Another essential notion is ''states of worth''. Conditions are imposed early in life where a person measures their very own worth, how acceptable or unacceptable they may be. An easy example might be'' Do Not ever be angry, or you''ll be an awful, black individual, and you''ll not be adored.'' The message this carries might be something like ''If I am upset it means I am worthless, hence I must never be angry.'' The person reason that they must therefore be worthless, ugly, black, and will inevitably feel upset, perhaps frequently. Another might be ''If you don''t do well academically, it means you''re not bright and you''ll be a failure in life''. This type of condition will often remain together with the person indefinitely, and she or he might happen to be struggling for a long time to live up to what might be impossible states of worth. It''s origins comprehended fully, plus if this type of inner certainty is brought to light, it could be the person can see that it is not actually accurate, it is been set there by others, and my be in a position to move away from it.
The Person Centred Counsellor attempts to be ''with'' the customer as a type of companion. The Counsellor valuing and accepting the individual, whatever they are like, will result in the individual him or herself coming to feel that he or she really is acceptable, and coming into connection with a more true, ''organismic'' self that has consistently been there in some way, but been concealed. They might subsequently become more real, less preoccupied with facades and appearances, or living up to the expectations of others. They may value their particular feelings more, negative or positive. They may begin to savor their experience of the second.
This is achieved by the Counsellor by creating a climate of acceptance within which the customer can discover him or herself. Certain curative states facilitate this, states laid down by the founder of this approach, Carl Rogers. Included in these are:
The therapist''s credibility, or genuineness. This can not be just acted, it must be actual or it''s going to be worthless.
Total acceptance of the customer, and positive regard for them, however they appear to be.
''Empathic understanding'', the therapist really understanding exactly what the client is saying, and, additionally, showing the customer which their feelings are comprehended.
Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic, or Psychoanalytic, treatment tries to foster an interaction which includes unconscious components of the customer. How the customer relates to others will be, determined by a whole life''s expertise, most potently what the individual has learned from their first relationships in early childhood. This will definitely come out in some form in the healing relationship too, along with the therapist must be aware of what influences and powers may be in the client at work.
This approach doesn''t contain that idea of ''free will''. It doesn''t see feeling our thinking and decision making as the effect of conscious awareness, but as the results of several forces which are functioning beneath conscious awareness. The person is acting and relating mainly as the outcome of the instincts they are born with, together with what they''ve learned about themselves, largely through the nature of the relationships that are close in early life.
This will be laid down in as a nervousness if, for instance, the primary carer of the child hasn''t fed her correctly. There are myriad sorts of procedures in the head of this sort, forming from birth, with a myriad of editions and subtleties. They are nearly all laid down in a degree of the individual which is not accessible to the conscious mind, and are acted out automatically.
The therapist has to know about the type of the networks that are unconscious, and the way they have been working in his or her life as well as in the session. The client''s thoughts and activities and feelings may be ''interpreted'' by the therapist, in terms of how their unconscious might be directing them. Or, perhaps less controversially, how early experience could have resulted in the means she or he is now. In discussing this, the client may gain self knowledge, acceptance and much more charge of his or her life.
As the name indicates, an integrative approach tries to incorporate one or more theories into one unified process.
I believe that it is difficult to incorporate Person Psychodynamic and Centred inclinations into one, as they''ve been in many ways antithetical. The belief of the ''specialist'' for example. Person Centred Counselling attempts to avoid a situation where one person is in the function of ''specialist'' along with the other is the passive recipient of wisdom. The practitioner is the holder of what can seem like an arcane knowledge, mostly of the workings of the unconscious, knowledge that is transmitted in interpretations of exactly what the client says. This contrasts using a straightforward but ''prized'' whatever they may say, without interpretation, as is the case with the Person Centred approach and acceptance of the customer.
Regardless of this sort of difficulty, yet, I do consider that it is possible to incorporate components of both in a fashion which can be far better than either alone. That it is possible to work in a largely person centred manner, accepting and valuing the individual and whatever they say, and yet be aware of past influences on the way an individual is now. Including the therapist being mindful of the psychodynamic possibilities underlying the interaction between the customer along with therapist. I believe that there will inevitably be some ''transference'', and at least some expectation the therapist holds skills and knowledge which the customer doesn''t have, which will lead to certain feelings in the client. Transference is often seen in Person Centred Counselling as an impediment to be overcome as soon as you can, and while I concur that it should be be brought into consciousness, I consider that it can be a valuable instrument, not to be dismissed too soon, and not to be undervalued.
The counsellor must strive to be familiar with all components which may be functioning in the relationship at any given time, and how these might change at different times, and manage to choose which of these should be shared with the customer for their advantage. I believe that it is possible to share, tentatively, some ''psychodynamic'' possibilities without losing the fundamental ''Person Centred'' states of genuineness and respect. This integration of two strategies within an experienced psychotherapist, who''s not relying just on getting into operation a learned theory but is also matching the customer as genuinely and fully as you can as two actual folks, has extraordinary capacity to greatly help folks locate fuller and more satisfying means of experiencing themselves and their lives.
