At present, many psychological counseling studios/companies are not developing well, not to mention the high income, and a few well-known professional psychological counseling studios/companies have good economic benefits. Therefore, if you want to do psychological counseling for social charges, you must be a very professional psychological counselor at present.
2. Psychological consultation fee.
Consulting fees are very expensive in any country. At present, in the United States, the hourly salary of psychological counselors can reach about 150 US dollars.
It is understood that the standard of psychological consultation fee stipulated by the state is 60 yuan per hour, while the actual consultation fee is generally from 50 yuan to 150 yuan per hour, or even higher.
In some CBD business districts in Beijing, consulting fees often reach $65,438+000 per hour, while in Nanjing, the average cost is 65,438+000-200 yuan per hour. In Chongqing, Wuhan, Changsha and other places, the charge for a psychological consultation is generally 50- 150 yuan, and the starting price in Suzhou and other places is 200 yuan and the highest is 500 yuan; The cost of psychotherapy is relatively high. If it is a marriage problem, and it is treated by a senior therapist, two hours each time, 500 yuan/hour; For other problems, senior therapists charge 400 yuan/hour, while general therapists charge 300 yuan/hour.
Fourth, the career prospects of psychological counselors
Psychological counselor is a promising career, especially in the fields of education, medical care, community, institutions, enterprises, justice, league departments and so on. According to the relevant regulations, prison reeducation-through-labor departments, institutions of higher learning, primary and secondary schools, enterprises and institutions, personnel departments and other places should be equipped with 2 to 3 psychological counselors. At present, our country is equipped with psychological counselors in public security system, sports field and army.
Fifth, the demand for psychological counseling.
The domestic market demand is huge, and the demand for psychological counselors is in short supply.
1. There are1.900 million people in China who need professional psychological counseling or psychotherapy all their lives.
According to the estimate of the World Health Organization, more than100000 people attempt suicide every year in the world. Among the top 10 diseases with the greatest functional disability, 5 are mental disorders; It is estimated that by 2020, the burden of neuropsychiatric diseases in China will rise to a quarter of the total burden of diseases.
In China, it is conservatively estimated that there are about 65.438 billion people who need professional psychological counseling or psychotherapy in their lifetime.
The survey shows that among the 654.38+0.3 billion people, there are more than 654.38+0.6 million people with various mental disorders, and among the 654.38+0.5 billion teenagers, there are 30 million teenagers who are troubled by emotions and pressures.
The number of suicide deaths in China has reached 287,000 every year, and the number of attempted suicides has reached 2 million every year; From 65438 to 0990, only 5% of the 25.6 million depressed patients in China were treated, while 15% of the depressed patients had suicidal tendency. Wu Ruihua, a researcher at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that the lack of professionals engaged in psychological counseling is one of the reasons for the relatively high suicide rate in China.
When a person's inner experience has already felt pain, and this pain has affected his life, he should go to psychological counseling.
The spirit of white-collar workers has been in a state of high tension for a long time, and there are more and more problems such as anxiety, depression, psychological obstacles and being uninterested in anything. When you are depressed, it is sometimes inconvenient to tell your friends or family that you can't get a solution. Therefore, psychological counseling will become a common demand just like eating in a restaurant.
2. Comparison between the number of employees and market demand
(1) social demand
According to the statistics of China 1997, there are only 2.4 psychological counselors per million people.
According to the statistics of the United States 199 1 year, there are 550 consulting psychologists per million people.
Some experts predict that there may be 400,000 psychological counselors in China, but there are only a few thousand professionals engaged in psychological counseling and treatment in China.
(2) There is a serious shortage of professionals.
More than 3,000 universities in the United States have psychology departments, while only about 20 universities in China have psychology departments. Moreover, in the academic education system, psychological counseling is extremely scarce, and very few training resources are concentrated in universities and research institutes in megacities such as Beijing and Shanghai. According to the statistics of the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in August 2000, 90% of the relevant training since 1980s has been concentrated in six cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Wuhan and Changsha.
