Career planning of psychological counselors

Career planning of psychological counselors (1)

I. Self-evaluation

1, its current situation:

I am neutral, thoughtful, experienced, gentle, introverted, straightforward, enthusiastic and steady. I like reading books and playing chess. My strengths are down-to-earth, conscientious and loving to help others. My weakness is stubbornness, easy to follow the rules, and my specialty is to enter the inner or perceptual intelligence. Joining a social service-oriented society during college has a strong achievement motivation and a strong desire and ability to learn.

2. Evaluation results: The temperament type is a mixture of mucus and depression, with bile, and the professional interest test is good at psychology, philosophy and education.

Second, social environment planning and career analysis

1, general social environment:

Psychological counselors have broad employment prospects. Because all walks of life need psychological counselors, the personnel departments of society, schools, prisons, enterprises and institutions can all find jobs; If you get the certificate of senior psychological counselor, you can open your own psychological counseling clinic.

Psychological counselor is a very hot industry in the future. 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. The survey shows that there are more than 654.38+0.3 billion people with various mental disorders, 654.38+0.6 billion people in China need psychological counseling and psychotherapy all their lives, and 30 million of the 654.38+0.5 billion teenagers are troubled by emotions and pressures. This shows that the lack of professionals engaged in psychological counseling is one of the reasons for the relatively high suicide rate in China. In 2004, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Hu Jintao delivered an important speech at the national conference on strengthening and improving the ideological and moral construction of minors, stressing the need to "care about the growth of minors and create good conditions and social environment for their healthy physical and mental development." Under the vigorous advocacy of government policies, all the first-class hospitals in the third grade require the establishment of psychological departments, and primary and secondary schools also require the establishment of psychological consultation rooms with psychological counselors.

2. Occupational special social environment:

At present, the employment prospects of psychological counselors in China are not optimistic. China's psychological counseling industry lacks sufficient talent base and self-discipline awareness, but the most important thing is the lack of a truly effective management mechanism. However, I am confident that the psychological counseling industry in China will get better and better. Although there will be problems at first, social elimination and public demand will create a healthy industry. Even if China's psychology is not good, he will get better gradually in the future. Everything that develops will retreat if it doesn't advance, and it will only progress more and more. Those bad problems are only temporary, not forever. Don't look at the problem too one-sidedly, but have a long-term vision. I believe we made the right choice. My confidence is about ten years. Even if you don't engage in this industry in the end, you will benefit a lot from learning this knowledge.

Third, establish development goals.

Direction: psychological counselor

Fourth, the implementation strategy of career planning.

Gap: 1. Lack of necessary skills and innovative ability as a psychological counselor. 2. Lack of rapid adaptability. 3. The social scope is narrow. 4, self-confidence is not strong.

Ways to narrow the gap:

1, education and training methods

(1) Make full use of the study time at school before graduation to supplement the required knowledge and skills for yourself. Including participating in club activities, reading related books extensively, and applying for professional qualification certificates.

(2) Make full use of the training opportunities provided by the company to employees and strive for more training.

(3) Studying for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in psychology.

Step 2 discuss communication methods

(1) Discuss and communicate with teachers and classmates during school, and choose to communicate with some of them frequently after graduation.

(2) actively communicate with your boss at work to deepen your understanding.

3. Practice the practice method.

(1) Make full use of your working conditions to expand your social circle, attach importance to your classmates' social circle, and attach importance to communication with everyone.

Success criteria:

My success criterion is the coordinated development of personal affairs, career and family life.

As long as I try my best, my ability has also been brought into play, and I have really improved myself at every stage. Even if my goal is not achieved, I won't feel failed.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) feedback correction

If the goal is too high, it will affect other important things in life.

Counterpart work is hard to find, and now the income of psychological counselors is low.

Job-hopping should be well grasped.

I believe that my ideal will be realized, even at the expense of other happiness! Even at the cost of ten years!

Career Planning of Psychological Counselors (2)

1. Consultants work harder than visitors.

Psychological counseling is an activity in which psychological counselors and visitors work together to enhance self-understanding and self-improvement. In the initial stage of consultation, counselors should take on more responsibilities, establish basic norms, teach visitors how to use meeting time, and clearly explain each other's responsibilities and work. After consulting for a period of time, the counselor gradually retreated behind the scenes, becoming active and passive, encouraging visitors to take on more responsibility for speaking. If, after a period of conversation, the counselor works harder than the visitor and has greater expectations for the improvement of the visitor than the visitor himself, then the counselor should discuss himself and find out his hidden anxiety or problems that need to be dealt with.

Secondly, I am eager for visitors to change immediately and regard it as my responsibility.

Consultants are often influenced by the anxiety of visitors at the early stage of their practice. It is hoped that after several meetings, visitors can make obvious behavior changes to alleviate their own problems and prove their therapeutic ability. But the change of tourists' behavior is usually not immediate, but has certain processes and conditions. Visitors' self-awareness and behavior change involve many factors. Their problems are accumulated over the years, and their psychological troubles are always wrapped up.

Third, try to change visitors' thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

No matter how junior or advanced you are, you will make the mistake of trying to persuade and change the thoughts, emotions and behaviors of visitors. As a result, tourists have not changed, but have caused more and stronger resistance and defense. In the actual consultation, () the consultant must bear in mind that the thoughts, emotions and behaviors of the problematic visitors are almost the self-defense mechanism or the result. The consultant's job is to provide a relationship, an atmosphere and a situation, so that visitors can realize their problems and then change. %$#@

When the visitor is talking, the therapist is thinking about questions, answers or suggestions.

What was the consultant doing when the visitor spoke? It is certainly inappropriate to spend too much time thinking about your own affairs in the consultation, and it is also not good to spend too much time visiting people to make important cases and suggestions. The whole consultation process is full of interaction and discovery, and it is not the time to supervise or find answers.

5. Explain the feelings and behaviors of the case according to your own experience.

Interpretation skills will be used in the negotiation process. In the face of visitors' problems, even if the counselor has had similar experiences, it is not appropriate to explain the feelings and behaviors of visitors with his own experiences and then tell them what to do. Because the inner level and meaning of the individual touched by the same question are different. The consultant's job is not to explain the behavior of visitors with his own experience, but to help visitors explore the meaning of the problem and gain more growth and learning from the experience.

Six, often ask why.

Novices often ask why they visit unconsciously. But the effective way to consult is not to ask why often. This is because asking why it is easy to cause visitors' defense mechanisms, especially rational defense mechanisms. In this way, visitors are not easy to realize their inner feelings. Moreover, it is often asked why psychological counselors will gradually turn the therapeutic relationship into the feeling of family investigation, which is not conducive to the establishment of trust relationship.

When consulting, you should avoid asking visitors many questions to satisfy your curiosity. Experienced consultants will try to arouse visitors' curiosity about themselves and their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Career Planning of Psychological Counselors (3)

Self-awareness (confidant):

1, Foreword: Grasp the present:

There is a saying in The Doctrine of the Mean, "If everything is predicted, it will be established, and if it is not predicted, it will be abolished." It is really necessary for me to plan my life well after spending a year in college. "Nothing is feasible in the world unless you stand up." More importantly, with the increase of the number of college students, the employment pressure is bound to increase year by year. Making a preliminary plan for your life now is conducive to coping with the future employment pressure.

In my opinion, there are two reasons why it is difficult for college students to find jobs: first, the curriculum of the school is out of line with the requirements of enterprises; Another reason, which I think is more fundamental, is that most college students lack the consciousness of career planning, have not set clear career goals in universities, and have not cultivated and trained relevant professional abilities. Only after graduation did I find the gap with the requirements of the enterprise, but it was too late.

2. Career interests: I like watching news, consulting columns (such as psychological interviews), understanding the knowledge of consulting, and like talking, experiments, measurement and other work.

3. Ability tendency: I have served as a student cadre during my college years and have strong organizational and coordination skills; Strong interpersonal communication skills; Quick thinking and fluent expression.

4. Professional values: The employment of college students has become a concern of the whole society. The employment rate of college students continues to decline, and the employment problem is severe. College students should have excellent professional qualities, such as professional loyalty, professionalism, team spirit, self-study ability and innovation ability.

5. Behavioral personality: I have strong self-learning ability, strong self-motivation and dare to challenge myself; Cheerful, lively, sociable, adventurous, energetic, optimistic, careful and ambitious. Life is simple, I don't compare with others, and I like to make friends, listen to music and participate in campus activities in my spare time. But sometimes I am too sensitive, and I am a little tired and lazy on weekdays. The study work is not focused enough and the efficiency is not high. In the future, we must strengthen self-control, make a good task schedule and be strict with ourselves.

6, others' evaluation: Let him do anything by himself, we are all at ease. Sometimes he needs our help. If he encounters difficulties, he will usually deal with them by himself. I am honest, kind and popular. I am full of confidence in myself, with high comprehensive quality, strong leadership, strong sense of responsibility and lofty ideals, and I have been fighting for them. Love the school and be a loyal defender of the class; Easy-going and humble, students are willing to cooperate with them; He is far-sighted and persistent in the pursuit of ideals. Smart, strong coordination ability, good at cooperation with people, strong planning and organization ability, careful work, patience and passion for people!

(2) professional cognition (know yourself):

1. Analysis of external environment: As a standardized industry, psychological counseling was born in China only six years ago (since 2002). As a new industry, it has a lot to improve. At present, it is not an exaggeration to describe the psychological counseling market in China with a mixture of good and evil people. Psychological counseling industry is like a besieged city. Some people desperately want to go in, but many psychological professionals are unwilling to engage in this industry. Some people say that psychological counseling is a profitable industry, with an hourly salary of 300-500 yuan makes many people covet; Some people also say that psychological counselors can't even fill their stomachs and are high-risk industries.

Psychological counseling is developing slowly in this contradictory debate.

In the long run, psychological counselors, as a standardized profession, were introduced by the Ministry of Labor in 200 1 year, and the first batch of psychological counselors only appeared in 2002. Although there was a quasi-psychological consultation similar to "intimate sister" before, how many professional contents are unknown. As for the evaluation of successful cases, it is a highly technical clinical evaluation. To this end, I trained lecturers with several consultants to explore the evaluation of consulting effect. At present, China mainly adopts the combination of self-evaluation and scale evaluation. From a professional point of view, this may include evaluation bias such as placebo effect and expected effect. What is a successful case is a controversial professional issue.

2, the target occupation analysis:

Consultant → Consultant → Consultant → Have your own consulting room.

3, professional quality evaluation:

The results of professional ability evaluation show that my interest in social orientation is particularly prominent, and my artistic orientation and research orientation are relatively strong, which basically conforms to my reality and is just suitable for consulting work.

4.SWOT analysis:

Advantages: With the integration of China and the world economy, the employment prospects of consulting talents are bright, and the supply and demand are booming. Psychological counseling is a major with great demand, which is needed by all kinds of institutions and enterprises, and its employment prospects are very broad.

I am a person who is willing to do the work well in the first time; Can concentrate on a project or task every time; Sensitive organizational skills; Very strong sense of responsibility; It is important to be efficient and fruitful; Can rely on, can carry out the work from beginning to end, have perseverance and determination to achieve the goal; Reasoning, steady and peaceful mind; Aggressive, aggressive.

Weaknesses (W): Good at finding interesting things, adventurous but sometimes timid. Lack of patience for tasks that take a long time to complete; Lack of sensitivity to the impact of policies or decisions on others; Unwilling to support risky behavior; Don't underestimate yourself and your contribution to the organization; Lack of fighting spirit, easy to relax, lack of persistence in the face of pressure and setbacks.

Faced with so many disadvantages, I want to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, choose a job that can give full play to my advantages, try to avoid my disadvantages and try to correct them. Some disadvantages are determined by the personality itself, which may have been stereotyped, so I want to position myself accurately and open up a stage where I can show my advantages.

Opportunity factor (O): The increase of job-seeking opportunities in the psychological counseling industry is naturally the product of the rapid development of the industry-the rapid growth of the industry has promoted the demand for talents in the industry. However, the growth rate of talents in the industry is far from meeting the rising demand of talents in the market. Therefore, psychological counseling talents have become a very tight occupation at present.

Challenge factor (T): Although the consulting industry has its own development potential now, with the advent of the economic crisis, the innovation of people's consumption concepts, the adjustment of national macroeconomic policies, and the high fees in the consulting industry, many people with problems are discouraged.

(3) Career planning and design:

1, career goals and paths:

Career goal: consultant (planned as 1-2 years) → consultant (3-5 years) → consultant (10 years) → own consulting room (10 years).

Career path: be familiar with modern western psychological theory, master the methods of various schools of modern psychological counseling, and broaden your knowledge. Take part in preparation for exams at all levels and strengthen oral English training.

2, action plan and strategy:

Understand the employment direction of enterprises, participate in simulated job fairs, and exercise yourself as much as possible with resources. Improve your comprehensive ability, understand the skills needed for the target position, and step by step.

Strive to improve their professional strength, go to the library more and increase their professional knowledge. Participate in practical activities organized by some companies. When doing a part-time job, you should learn from professionals with an open mind.

Have the psychological quality and ability to deal with emergencies, and have a wide range of social contacts. Go to some professional websites, forums and communicate with experts. If you are optimistic about a company's sales position, you should know as much about the company as possible to increase your chances of success. Investigate each interview company during the interview and analyze the needs and characteristics; Prepare materials before the interview, coping strategies, and show strong expressive ability and strong appeal during the interview.

3, amendments and alternatives:

Due to the changes of social environment, family environment, organizational environment, personal growth curve and various unpredictable factors, a person's career development is often not smooth sailing. In order to better grasp life actively and adapt to the ever-changing workplace world, it is necessary to draw up an alternative career planning scheme.

1) Get the consultant certificate, consultant certificate and computer certificate.

2) Get a good teacher qualification certificate.

The factors that I measured when making the replacement plan:

If I don't become a consultant after five years of hard work, I will switch to a middle school teacher or a lecturer in enterprise human resource planning.

According to the position suggestion of professional ability test in self-evaluation, it is "suitable for persuasion education". Actually, I also like this kind of work very much. I am good at language expression, and have strong writing skills and organizational skills. At the same time, the ability requirements of teachers are easier than those of marketing managers. I believe I can be a middle school teacher.

(4) Conclusion:

Shakespeare once said, "Life is a job. Whoever has an ideal in life and a plan to realize it will have a good plot and ending. Whoever can write it will be very exciting and eye-catching. " Without the accumulation of water, it is difficult to become a big river. Without dribs and drabs of accumulation, it is difficult to become a climate. There is a mountain peak in everyone's heart, carved with ideals, beliefs, pursuits and ambitions; There is a forest in everyone's heart, bearing the harvest, fragrance, frustration and tempering. If a person wants to succeed, he must show courage, work hard, struggle and struggle.
