There is a saying in the consulting field that you can lead your clients (helpers and visitors) as far as possible. Therefore, the mental health level of counselors is very important.
Second, when there are psychological problems, help psychological counselors to restore mental health.
Psychological counseling and psychotherapy are high-pressure occupations, and they are exposed to bad emotions for a long time (some people call psychological counselors trash cans), so psychological counselors themselves need psychological health care and even psychotherapy.
Third, effectively help consultants improve their consulting skills.
In essence, psychological counseling and psychotherapy is an empirical science and an art based on experience. Many arts and techniques of counseling and therapy have never been written in books, and many secrets are reflected in the interaction of supervision.
Fourth, help consultants, especially new consultants, adjust their consulting strategies in time.
Counselors often encounter difficulties in the consultation process because of their own experiences and other reasons, which makes it difficult to continue the consultation. At this time, the supervisor is needed to help them find the reasons and revise the consulting strategy, so as to better help customers grow and change.
