First of all, you should have a deep psychological foundation. That involves the basic knowledge of psychology, such as general psychology, developmental psychology, educational psychology, social psychology, psychological measurement, abnormal psychology and so on. Among them, the most important is abnormal psychology, which is the standard reading material for consultation and judgment, and also belongs to the bedside book.
Secondly, you must get the corresponding psychological counselor certificate. Since the country has cancelled the psychological counselor certificate, I suggest that you can take the qualification certificate of other different schools, such as painting counselor, sand table counselor, hypnosis counselor and so on. Participate in a genre of psychological counseling training, understand a genre, and learn to use the corresponding skills.
Finally, make sure there are cases. I suggest you go to the corresponding school, community, etc. As a psychological counselor. With the case, we can accumulate the experience of psychological counseling and have the opportunity to find psychological supervision. Supervision is what you must have, and it is also an important mentor that can improve your consulting ability.
The above is a brief introduction of Mr. Li. To be a qualified psychological counselor, you need a lot of cases and a lot of training. You need patience and settle down slowly. I also wish you to be what you want to be in the future!
How can I become a psychological counselor?
First of all, according to the examination requirements of psychological counselor qualification, you must meet the requirements of bachelor degree or above in education, psychology, medicine and other related majors. Learn the content of psychological counselor's teaching materials, take the national unified examination, and get the certificate if you pass the examination.
With a certificate, you are qualified, but there is still a long way to go to really do it and know how to do it. Psychologists are divided into four schools, including psychoanalysis, cognitive behavior, humanism and postmodernism. And derived about 400 therapies. These therapies are confusing, so it is necessary to find efficient and fast solutions to problems and learn systematically and truly, so as to lay a good foundation for psychological counseling.
Psychological counselors should not only master some specific psychological techniques, but also have a wide range of knowledge, because they have all kinds of visitors, worry about everything, and have more knowledge in all aspects, so as to help visitors understand the correct knowledge. Learn and master science and technology, understand the principle of psychological problems, the reasons for the decline in grades, and understand that the other party has a painful experience, so that you can feel his pain and helplessness, and you can let the other party feel that the counselor understands him and understands him, so that the consultation can proceed smoothly and achieve good consulting results.
