What is counseling
Counseling is a conversational process instrumental in the development of skills that help clients effectively confront and cope with temporary uncertainties and conflicts. Counseling is to support an individual when s/he finds it difficult or painful to take decisions about his/her work-life or relationship.
The counselor’s working premise is that the client has the ability to resolve and overcome his/her difficulties with his/her own resources. The first stage in this process is to discuss and clarify the client’s current needs. Once this has been done, the counselor can then support the mobilization of the individual resources required to overcome any conflicts and uncertainties.
The counselor is a non-judgmental, objective, professional and experienced helper. His work is not to offer advice but, rather, to make the client feel comfortable in speaking and appreciated in revealing their feelings and emotions at a difficult time.
Who is a Counselor?
* A counselor is a non-judgmental, objective professional experienced in clarifying feelings, beliefs and emotions
* A counselor will try to make you comfortable in talking and expressing what you need and want
* A counselor can help you to gradually find the support you need within yourself
How does it work?
In the initial session the counselor and the client agree on development objectives. After this, up to ten individual sessions of about 50 minutes may follow. Sessions are confidential, no information on the content of the session is given without the written consent of the client.
Counseling is not a therapy
In the Italian legal framework counseling cannot be defined as a therapy. Italian law strictly reserves the use of the word therapy to those treatments carried out by medical doctors following a diagnosis. The diagnosis involves the detection of a clinical and pathological condition that can be cured either with drugs (e.g. antidepressant) or through a psychotherapy (therapy through dialogue).
Counselors recognize and respect the value of medical diagnosis and psychotherapy. They know the symptoms and the standard definition of relevant clinical conditions, and, if the need arises, they may refer a client to a suitable specialist.
