General psychological counselors have to go through three stages of skill learning. The first is the study of the basic knowledge of psychological counseling skills, such as general psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology and so on. The second is the study of practical skills, including the study and practice of consulting ethics, basic techniques and psychological evaluation.
Only with theoretical knowledge and practical skills, psychological counseling will not become an ordinary heart-to-heart talk, but a process in which psychological counselors use the theories and methods of psychological counseling and treatment to help visitors recover or improve their mental health and promote their personal growth.
The third stage is the personal growth and skill improvement of psychological counselors. It is necessary to learn all kinds of psychological counseling theories and methods, and use these methods in the process of psychological counseling, such as crisis intervention techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy.
As a profession, psychological counseling needs professional quality requirements in a general sense, that is, professional knowledge and ability related to the profession. Secondly, psychological counseling, as a special profession, also needs special requirements beyond the general professional quality, that is, what kind of person the psychological counselor is, the maturity and perfection of his personality, the ability of self-cognition and growth, and the level and realm he has reached.
