From this definition, it can be seen that counseling by psychological counselors is not what we usually mean by "chatting". It is a kind of consultation method based on scientific theory, which helps the help-seekers to alleviate their psychological problems through professional technical means.
You mentioned that you met an unprofessional "chat" consultant, probably for the following reasons:
First, the academic skills and professional skills of consultants are really poor.
At present, the level of psychological counselors is also mixed. Indeed, some people may be unskilled in learning and lack professional level, which gives people the feeling of being unprofessional.
Second, you and the consultant's consulting expertise do not match.
It is estimated that this is probably caused by this situation. Just as we need to be divided into departments when we go to the hospital when we are sick, psychological counselors are also specialized in their professions. Some are good at marriage, some are good at parent-child problems, and some are good at emotional problems. Moreover, because each consultant's own experience and personality characteristics are different, it may not be suitable for a certain type of visitors.
It is precisely because of the mismatch that the psychological counseling industry has a clear referral system. If you think this counselor is not suitable for you, you can ask him to recommend you a counselor who matches your type. Of course, you also have the right to terminate this consultation early.
In a word, psychological counseling is a very scientific and rigorous counseling activity. Whether it is a help-seeker or a psychological counselor, it is very necessary to find a matching psychological counselor in order to obtain good counseling effect.
