How is the career of psychological counselor now? What is the approximate monthly income?

According to the data of the World Health Organization (WTO), there are more than 350 million people suffering from depression in the world, and the growth rate of patients in the past decade is about 18%. According to estimates, so far, there are more than 95 million patients with pan-depression in China.

Depression is becoming the second biggest killer after cancer, and many people have the possibility of suffering from depression.

According to big data, there are only 2./kloc-0 psychiatrists per 654.38+10,000 people in China, while the number of psychiatrists in developed countries is five times that in China. In the field of mental health, there are 30 psychologists for every 65,438+10,000 people, while there are less than 2 in China. According to this ratio, there is still a gap of at least 420,000 psychologists in the field of mental health in China! According to news reports, by the end of 20 17, there were 33,400 psychiatrists and only 6,000 psychotherapists in China, which was a huge industry gap.

According to the authoritative survey of the World Health Organization, the biggest enemy threatening mankind in the 2 1 century is not famine and earthquake, but their own psychological problems that are more serious than natural disasters. According to the statistics of psychological science, 80% of people of different ages have different degrees of psychological barriers, personality defects and habitual bad behavior. Such as common anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, autism (autism), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and their own emotional, marriage, workplace or parenting education problems.

On September 12, 2020, the General Office of the National Health and Wellness Committee issued the Work Plan for Exploring the Special Services for Depression Prevention and Treatment, and put forward the overall goal: by 2022, a social atmosphere in which the whole people pay attention to mental health, support and participate in depression prevention and treatment will be initially formed in the pilot areas.

In terms of income:

Basically, the entry-level Xiao Bai, who has just studied for a few months, charges about 200-300 per hour.

The average number of mature consultants is between 600 and 800.

The average price of top consultants is around 1200- 1500, and a few of them are well commercialized.

The above is the cost of a single consultation. Let's take a normal and mature psychological counselor as an example to calculate.

The monthly consultation volume of a mature consultant is: 40-60 times. That is between 24,000 and 48,000. This is not to mention the extra income such as going out to give lectures and attending classes.
