I would like to tell about my goals in clinical counseling. I have a great career aims in this area and I really believe that I will become good specialist in counseling.
There are several main areas in counseling and I like all of them. Clinical counseling is an area of knowledge that allows to cooperate theoretical and practical knowledge in the best combination. Discussing clinical counseling for my future career realization, I should mention that clinical counseling program it is a kind of system programs in different classifications. As it was above said, it is a combination of theory and practice of the prevalence, psychopathology of everyday life and problems in extreme situations, a combination of classical psychoanalytic technique and modern psychoanalytic concepts, the various types and forms of psychoanalytic care (individual, group, family, child psychotherapy, counselling), the inclusion of a program critical to the practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy additional disciplines (psycho-diagnostics, sexuality, conflict, extreme psychology, perinatal psychology).
I was attracted by this area of knowledge, I mean counselling, for a long time and I tried to use all possibilities to implement my theoretical knowledge and skills in life and receive practical experience in this area as volunteer. Saying about my volunteer practice it is necessary to remember that I felt myself good working with people. I think that counselling is rather hard area of work, because it needs skills of good understanding of people and it requires good listeners’ skills.
I understood one interesting thing that all people need to be listened to their problems, necessities and they need real help in concrete moment of time when they found themselves in problem situation. Discussing in general terms main aims of my wish to realize myself in counselling it is necessary to mention that I think that I am a good listener and I could help people in many situations.
There are several approaches to psychological counselling and I as a good future specialist should use one of them or maybe it will be better to use several of them and implement complex of necessary techniques and methods in my future work. If to be professional in judging, we can say that objectives of counselling depends on the particular psychological school. For example, behavioural-oriented direction in consultation aims to change human behavior. But saying about the existential direction, we understand that the purpose of psychological counselling “is to clarify and set off, and to understand life.”
The support provided by the consultant to the client assistance is aimed at finding the last of its own direction in life by using insights. This process involves understanding the goals and intentions of man, as well as his general attitude towards life.
Thus, taking into account all above said I could come to the conclusion that in general terms, the goal of psychological counselling – is to help clients with their problems solving. It is necessary to explain to people that they have enough efforts to recognize and change ineffective behaviours in order to make important decisions, solve problems, reach goals, to live in harmony with themselves and the world. I also understood that counselling in the work of every specialist is regulated by normative documents, and has its own specifics. I also want to thanks to my previous experience in social areas that helped me to chose my career path and realize my talents in it.
