The number of qualified counselors has increased year by year. Take a prefecture-level city as an example. At present, there are about 5,000 people with three-level psychological counselor certificates, and about 1.500 people with two-level certificates. It can be seen that the group with this certificate is very large.
So how many of these holders are psychological counselors, no more than 10! ! !
Who are the people to study and what is their purpose?
First of all, students are employment groups. To increase employment competitiveness. This is a national unified examination and a certificate issued by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, which is considered to have high gold content.
Second, the need of practical work. For professionals who deal with people, it is still useful to learn some psychological knowledge, which also gives birth to many units hoping that their employees can hold the certificate of psychological counselor. For example, colleges and universities encourage counselors to hold this certificate, and the unit will provide special funds for them to carry out training. For example, education, medical care, justice, women's federations, prisons, corporate human resources, counseling institutions, etc. At present, psychological problems emerge one after another, and related fields need the assistance of people who understand the theory and skills of psychological counseling.
Third, in order to solve their psychological confusion, some people take the certificate of psychological counselor because they are interested in psychology, and feel that obtaining such a certificate is helpful for personal growth and family education.
Among these people, only the second kind of people want to take the exam. After taking the exam, they benefit the most, and there are more people who take the exam.
After the cancellation of the qualification examination for psychological counselors, this group is also the most affected. In fact, let's study the examination process of psychological counselors. The examination questions are mainly based on memory, and the requirements for hands-on ability are not high. There are many holders of second-and third-level psychological counseling around me, and most of them show very general psychological knowledge. A truly qualified psychological counselor needs long-term and specialized psychological training to practice, so I think the purpose of the country is not to cancel this exam, but to reform the current pattern of psychology and establish an entrance exam similar to the doctor qualification exam. Other people who like psychology don't have to be keen to pass this exam. On the contrary, it may be more beneficial to know more about the theory and practice of psychology.
Learning is not always utilitarian, the goal is to get a certificate. Even if the research is cancelled, psychological knowledge should be used in the work, which may be more targeted and not necessarily a good thing. In the field of professional psychological counseling, we can gradually learn from the methods of places with higher psychological counseling qualifications and distinguish between ordinary psychological counselors and psychological counselors in specialized fields. Applicants first apply to become general psychological counselors, and then apply to become counselors in special fields (such as family counselors and school counselors) after success, so that psychological counseling can develop in a more professional direction.

After the cancellation of the "Psychological Counselor Certificate" issued by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, there is no national certification certificate for the time being! If you want to work in this field, you can study the knowledge and technology of psychology systematically first, and then you can get employment after you have studied to a certain extent. This is my little experience [prayer]

If you want to work as a counselor, you obviously need to take a counselor's certificate. At present, the certificates of psychological counselors are certified by professional associations, and they need to pass professional training and national unified examination to obtain certificates.
To prepare, the subject needs to choose a formal professional training institution to apply for study. Follow the teacher's steps after applying, work hard, be good at thinking, and finally get the certificate.
Hello, I am glad to see that you want to engage in psychological counseling, and you have done some homework.
In fact, the qualification certificate of psychological counselor issued by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has been cancelled. Now all institutions and organizations are launching their own psychological counselor certification system. The social acceptance of some certificates has yet to be tested, and some certificates are completely "pheasant" certificates. Better pay attention to screening.
At present, there is no recognized and highly recognized psychological counselor certificate, so there is no good advice for strangers.
Finally, psychological counseling focuses on theoretical knowledge and practical experience, and certificates are just a means to keep up appearances.
Best wishes.
Stranger psychology, look at the world from a psychological perspective. Pay attention to me, so can you.
Hello, I'm like a fish. I am a psychological counselor and am currently applying for professional certification. I'm glad to accept your invitation and answer your questions. Your question is that the national psychological counselor 20 17 was cancelled, so what certificate is more useful for psychological counseling now?
Those who do psychological counseling can apply for the above. The reason for canceling the professional qualification certificate of psychological counselors is that the lack of industry management leads to the confusion of psychological counselors' professional activities. Many licensed counselors are far from the professional requirements of psychological counseling, especially less than one tenth of them can really carry out counseling practice.
In recent years, in order to pursue the pass rate, many institutions have appeared the chaos of cross-provincial and cross-city consultants registering for exams, which has led to the confusion of the training market. Probation, internship and continuing education are not even supervised, and most certified psychological counselors are unable to carry out psychological counseling. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is only responsible for examination and certification, not continuing education and registration management, and psychological counselors need not only qualification examination, but also social practice and supervision.
As far as you are concerned, if you want to become a professional psychological counselor, you must keep your initial heart and keep moving forward on the premise of whether you have systematically studied the professional knowledge of psychology and whether you are a psychology graduate. On the basis of strengthening continuing education and professional theoretical skills training, participate in professional academic exchange activities, abide by professional ethics and carry out consulting practice under supervision.
If you teach yourself only to heal yourself or help your family, then you should realize that the psychological counseling industry is a professional and highly technical job, and everyone's knowledge, experience and experience are limited, so you need to seek professional help when necessary. Of course, the original question is also a valuable experience for me. Many psychologists have grown up after overcoming their own problems. It is very important to continue professional growth and personal self-growth. The certificate only represents the qualification examination held by the country in the past, and does not represent the individual's consulting ability level. There is a long way to learn and grow psychology, so we should be prepared in all aspects and don't give up halfway.
